Words in the Monsignor's Mouth

Shorter Ross Douthat, "Running against Hillary", June 7 2015:
Hillary Clinton's poll numbers are similar to the percentage of the vote obtained by Nursultan Nazarbeyev in the last Kazakhstan elections, suggesting that people are afraid if they don't tell Gallup they support her they'll be getting that knock on the door from her secret police force goons I NEVER SAID THAT funded by her billions in bribe payments from oil companies. So the brave souls risking the Gulag to run against her YOU'RE PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH have their work cut out for them. They can't run to her left on domestic policies unless they happen to be Bernie Sanders (as in one case they actually are) because she is herself turning out to be a virtual Communist, and they can't criticize her foreign policy hawkishness because she has decided not to be any more hawkish than President Obama, so my view as a completely disinterested observer is that they ought to hammer her for being evil and corrupt, which will not help them win but will at least provide material that Republicans can use in the general WHAT I mean so that after she's president for life and the best Americans can say for themselves is "At least we're not Kyrgyzstan" we won't be able to say we weren't warned THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.
No, Monsignor, it isn't, but it's what all your fans heard. How does that work?
