"As long as its deniable" "no such thing as bad publicity"
Neither of those are actually true in politics. Any slip, any misstatement, any gaffe can be used multiple times in short soundbites. Bad publicity sinks campaigns and denials are not often heard. If you aren't well liked by the press expect the incident on page 1 and explanation to be buried in the home and garden section. Heck, look at all the total BS we have heard about birth certificates and Mormonism. People catch the soundbite and believe this crap.
