Since she uttered the words "my husband," that means she mentioned him. That she didn't mention him <i>by name</i> is nothing strange-- indeed, if she had said, "My husband, Bill Clinton," you'd be parsing the living <i>hell</i> out of that, and you'd actually have some justification, unlike the way you don't now. But that doesn't even remotely resemble "avoiding mentioning" him. Hey, you know what? Did she mention teenage pregnancy during that debate? Hmmm. I wonder what else she's been avoiding mentioning. Subatomic particles, platinum trombones, the rain in Spain. . . this might be worth investigating. Perhaps <i>you</i> should apologize before you, I dunno, embarrass yourself?

Perhaps you should apologize before you, I dunno, embarrass yourself?

It's all about how Hillary avoided mentioning Bill at a debate. As for her appearing with him in person, I say -- in the post you link! -- "is it just that he's mainly to be used as a visual prop in her campaign, so that when he can't appear in person -- as in a debate -- you don't talk about him at all?... [W]hen he can show up in person and talk about her (and not about himself), that works just fine." So what do you do, Oliver, when "Facts collide with reality"? Correct and apologize? I'm still waiting. Oliver, you really ought to read my post again. It’s all about how Hillary avoided mentioning Bill at a debate.

Correct and apologize? I’m still waiting.
