From the New York Times, in explaining the significance of Presidential election candidate Rick Perry's apparent lack of memory:
"And Republican operatives almost uniformly declared it as a sign of great trouble for his candidacy, with Mark McKinnon, an aide to former President George W. Bush, describing the moment as the 'human equivalent of shuttle Challenger.'"
A gaffe in a debate, while telling, is not "equivalent" to the explosion and disintegration of the Challenger space shuttle and horrible deaths of seven crew members.
Mark McKinnon is an idiot. And it figures that he worked for another with the same mentality.
