forward. that smacks of somebody encouraging them to do it after all these years. it is -- having run a presidential campaign and been the recipient of all kind of nasty stuff on my opponents i can tell you that it very rarely bears itself out. in this case, just so i can clarify this one more time there is no doubt in my mind that politico and others got this from other republicans. not from democrats. >> eric: you said the exact same thing i said on the other side. >> greg: here we go again. >> eric: how about this. how about this. let me be conspiratorial now. >> greg: for a change. >> eric: politico gets it from the democratic party or someone on the left. and they say don't name your source. make it look like it came from a campaign. and all of a sudden we get dig down to the minutia of this instead of concentrating on what really matters, jobs, economy, unemployment, people aren't working. things aren't working. we waste all of this time worrying whether herman cain went like this to a girl 12 years ago or not.
