This was such a bizarre thing to say on television that I assume it was taken out of context for the purpose of the obviously hostile video – I can’t find a transcript on the tubz, but no doubt if something exculpatory is in there it’ll show up.

In which case he should be happy he’s so obviously near death, because that way he won’t be living it down as long as Inconvenient Al’s been living down taking the lead in inventing the Internet.
