Ya know, when you say something DUMB, you should just gloos over it and move along, not DWELL on it and add more fuel to the fire!
He may have gotten away with it after his first mention. What he said was something like: since the President of Venezuela thinks we're out to get hime, maybe we should be.

This is sort of like saying, Just because you're paraniod doesn't mean they AREN'T out to get you.
