john burton misquoted

John Burton, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, wants you to know that he is not the sort of man who would say, "Fuck you."

John Burton, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, is not a man who believes politicians should let those pesky bloggers get away with misquotes. So he demanded a correction from Calbuzz.com and he got it.

And we quote:

From The Department of Corrections

In our Saturday post about the California Democratic Party’s ad attacking Meg Whitman but masquerading as an “issues ad,” we described the abrupt ending to our conversation with CDP Chairman John Burton. Through his spokesman, Burton on Monday complained that he had been misquoted. Burton says he didn’t say “Fuck you.” His actual words were, “Go fuck yourself.” Calbuzz regrets the error.

Don’t know about you, but we’re certainly glad that’s been cleared up.

It’s such a good word and can be used in so many ways. Hell, it can be almost every word in a sentence – F**k the f**king f**kers.

Glad to see that the press is being held accountable for accuracy – today a blog, tomorrow the New York Slimes – small step, small steps.
