In this interview with Stephen Colbert, Erickson says that comment was not his finest moment, and that he “went soft” when he “realized that I wasn’t just talking to friends and was doing more than just being with friends online.” I see, so among friends Erickson believes that David Souter is “a goat f***ing child molester,” but not to the general public.
Erickison had no trouble sticking to statements he made that Linda Douglass, the White House health care spokesperson, was the “Joseph Goebbels of health care” or that President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize, “I did not realize the Nobel Committee had affirmative action quotas.” (h/t Think Progress)
