Hillary Clinton, cited by The Hotline and Raw Story regarding a Bloomberg news interview, now states her comments regarding homosexuality and morality yesterday were misunderstood:
Well I've heard from a number of my friends and I've certainly clarified with them any misunderstanding that anyone had, because I disagree with General Pace completely. I do not think homosexuality is immoral. But the point I was trying to make is that this policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is not working. I have been against it for many years because I think it does a grave injustice to patriotic Americans who want to serve their country. And so I have called for its repeal and I'd like to follow the lead of our allies like, Great Britain and Israel and let people who wish to serve their country be able to join and do so. And then let the uniform code of military justice determine if conduct is inappropriate or unbecoming. That's fine. That's what we do with everybody. But let's not be eliminating people because of who they are or who they love."

Although I am not a HRC supporter, I give her credit for expeditiously responding to the controversy. Good recovery. Well said.
HRC, let this be a good lesson. Next time try just speaking from the heart and off the cuff. It works for John Edwards and it can work for you.
