The person I promised to ignore, Sully, in the grand old tradition of that party of personal responsibility blames his now-amended claim that Rhode Island and the Netherlands are of equal size on the fact that there have been many such media mentions lately.
I don't know what media Andy imbibes - perhaps his good friend Rush Limbaugh has been saying it. However, I did search Lexis-Nexis over the past month - both general news and TV transcripts, for either "Netherlands", "Dutch", or "Holland" within 30 words of "Rhode" and I couldn't find a thing.
Maybe he heard it from the leader of the European Socialist Death Squad, "Mike".
