What Was Bob Johnson Thinking?

In South Carolina today, BET founder Bob Johnson had this to say about Barack Obama:

"I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood that I won't say what he was doing but he said it in his book."

Did your mind go there? Because mine did.

Later, Johnson issued a statement through the Clinton campaign:

“My comments today were referring to Barack Obama's time spent as a community organizer, and nothing else. Any other suggestion is simply irresponsible and incorrect. When Hillary Clinton was in her twenties she worked to provide protections for abused and battered children and helped ensure that children with disabilities could attend public school. That results oriented leadership -- even as a young person -- is the reason I am supporting Hillary Clinton.”

Jake Tapper titles his post on this: "Guess who's coming to dinner?"
