Hi, Jack. How so?  Curious about your charge.

 Those little marks at the beginning and end of the sentences?  They are quotation marks.  That means I didn't say these things.  In this case, the newspapers said them (more specifically, reporter Alexander Panetta.) I'm merely quoting.  No delusion, there.

What's important here is what the folks in D.C. thought.  They didn't say ANYBODY was delusional.  As mild as the comments were, the U.S. takes them seriously.
