The way he put it, it wasn't even clear, at least to me, that McGovern's
words were "expletive deleted."  (And that expression itself dates from the
Watergate transcripts, which were still in the future. )

And who said anything about spamming a reporter?  I never said (nor did
Gary LaPierre) that the person McGovern had the encounter with was a
reporter.  (And I doubt that McGovern could have spammed anyone, since very
few people had e-mail in those days.)
