 This is clever of Richard, and he has succeeded in getting you to correct his error with no apparent effort.

Notice how Richard has cleverly steered you away from the archives.

Have compassion on him -- he turns out to be a politician at heart (or a 
parent, or Vatican official): he wants you to believe he only said what he 
now wants you to think he said, and not what he actually said. If he were 
funnier, the Daily Show would playback the archives for us. But if you're 
memory is unsure, do check the archives.

Nixon also forgot the tape recorder was running...
