I read somewhere else that the newspaper taped the interview and stands by the quotes. If that’s true, then there is an accurate record.</p>

As you mention, it’s not terribly surprising to anybody that he’s mouthing off and offending people, and if they didn’t want to hire his mouth, they should have known better in the first place. Acting offended after the fact is abdicating some of the responsibility they should have taken before hiring him.</p>
