Aren't Gaffes Good?
Michael Kinsley: "If a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth, as someone once said, why isn't that a good thing? Don't we prefer the truth, even if it pops out by accident? Increasingly, no. What the press seems to value is successful spin. As gaffes and the phony umbrage that follows them gradually swallow up our politics, the press has taken on a bizarre role like that of judges in a figure-skating competition, as opposed to referees in a hockey match. What counts is the artistry."
