      @howardfineman Inadvertant? So if Samah weren't Muslim this would have been a reasonable thing to say?

    @howardfineman But even so, it's almost like when in a Catholic gets in argument and someone says who died and made you Pope...

      @frankjg_jr @howardfineman Wow, nothing like slurring a guy trying to make an apology. Does that make you better than Mr. Fineman? #Apology

      @howardfineman Yer a gentleman! "Czar?" BTW, isn't he anti-tax because he's anti-SPEND? No matter how rational the reason? #StarveTheBeast

      @howardfineman Umm it means Shiite religious leader in Iran. Unless of course his wife is Sunni.

    Should you have called him King? Pharoah? Dictator? Not sure I get it. @howardfineman #hardball

    @howardfineman are you sorry that you said something offensive or sorry to those whom were offended?

    @howardfineman I'm no fan of #GroverNorquist but you know better than to call someone #Ayatollah -- comment wasn't "inadvertent"

    You shouldn't have apologized. Everyone knows "Ayatollah" isn't a comprehensive reflection of the Muslim faith. @howardfineman
