Bubriski steps back from Palin comment

Barack Obama's FL Communications director Mark Bubriski the other day e-mailed the Herald his defense of Robert Wexler's comments about Sarah Palin:  "Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer," he wrote.

Today, Bubriski said this: "My previous statement about Gov. Palin is not only factually incorrect, but it also does not at all reflect Sen. Obama's views or the position of his campaign."

Some more background  on the Palin/Buchanan connection is here.
