You are correct and I was wrong which demonstrates that there is a first time for everything.

I've caught you in a gross and shameful misrepresentation, Mike. Clearly, you COULDN'T care less about the blue dress, but you said you COULD care less. Your credibility, such as it was, is now completely gone. Just kidding, of course. I've always been amused at how a saying ("I couldn't care less") that was born in Britain in the late 1940s and became popular here in the colonies during my teen years in the late 1950s soon was corrupted into sarcasm ("I could care less"). Things like this always have interested me. But you probably couldn't (or could, as you would say) care less. Aha! I’ve caught you in a gross and shameful misrepresentation, Mike.

What is interesting to me is this part of the report-"In December 2000, when both of Hillary Clinton's brothers were involved in trying to broker pardon arrangements for associates, several days of documents show only a long list of "private meetings" at the White House. Between Dec. 1 and 22, Clinton had a total of 25 "private meetings" before the day on which a first round of pardons was announced by her husband. " I could care less about the blue dress.
