Jack Tappers explanation of why the story was removed in the first place "As it is, all I can do is post this to explain why I took down the original blog entry, and re-post it with all the added context above. Not good enough, but the best I can do from Liberty East Restaurant."

Mickey Kantor -- Bill Clinton's Trade Representative, a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and an informal adviser to her campaign -- once had some not-so-nice things to say about the Hoosiers his chosen candidate is working so hard to pursue.
As seen in The War Room, watching election returns come in, Kantor seems to say in hushed tones to James Carville, "Look at Indiana, wait, wait – look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn’t matter if we win. Those people are s---. Excuse me."
I posted the above yesterday but had the post taken down amidst some debate over its authenticity. I'm traveling and the Clinton campaign said that the clip had been doctored.
(Taking it down is pretty S.O.P. -- if I'm traveling and a credible person tells me something on the blog is wrong, and I am not sure what is accurate, I will take down the blog post until I'm in front of a computer and can verify it one way or another.)
