He said it:

CDC's Frieden on possibility of travel ban: "Right now we know who's coming in." But later says "borders are porous." #EbolaHearing

CDC director Frieden implies that if you impose a travel ban, Ebola-infected people will sneak into the U.S. "Borders can be porous."

— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) October 16, 2014

Well, yeah. That’s part of the problem, no?

Borders can be porous-dr. Frieden (oh, really, you don't say..)

CDC Frieden: "Borders can be porous" No kidding? Somebody call Obama!

Obama cringes=> RT @michellemalkin "Borders can be porous." – @DrFriedenCDC No sh*t Sherlock. #EbolaHearing

Only thing honest I heard so far is "borders can be porous especially in this part of the world" #ebolahearing #secureOurBorder

A follow-up question from Rep. Marsha Blackburn gave Frieden the opportunity to explain what he meant:

Frieden clarifies that he was referring to “porous borders” in Africa after GOP Rep. Blackburn seizes on his comments

— Russell Berman (@russellberman) October 16, 2014

Blackburn asks about Frieden's porous border comment. He says he was referring to the borders of African countries.

— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) October 16, 2014

OK, well, if that’s indeed what he was trying to say … how is it supposed to make us feel better, exactly?

Just got awkward when Ms. Blackburn just pointed out watching foreign porous borders was important but not the ones attached to the U.S.!

Yes – West African porous borders are a problem, but not our porous borders – HOW STUPID IS THAT? #tcot #ebolausa

Indians are now drinking more, but not to get drunk – Times of India

Sales of hard liquor such as rum and vodka have shown a sharp decline in 2014-15, while whisky sales have grown marginally. A change in tastes and a yearning for aspirational lifestyles have led to the increase in sales of wine and beer.

‘Wrong!’ Sen. Schumer misidentifies what angers citizens about government

http://twitter.com/#!/kararowland/status/423866385303740416

Sen. Chuck Schumer can speak for himself, but the national debt didn’t get to where it was because Congress stayed home and did nothing.

These tweeters said the New York Democrat quoted above is as wrong as wrong can be:

Or, read another way, Schumer’s statement could be construed as correct:
