Stonewalls and spin
From Editor and Publisher 12/15/05:
'You could see these questions coming a mile away. After months of refusing to comment on the Plame/CIA probe, and the indictment of Lewis "Scooter" Libby -- saying he did not want to "prejudge" an "ongoing investigation" -- President Bush on Wednesday night unabashedly told Fox News' Brit Hume that he believed Rep. Tom DeLay was not guilty of charges against him.This sparked a storm of questioning at the daily briefing on Thursday by White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, with NBCs David Gregory leading the way, accusing the administration of being "hypocritical” and "inconsistent" on this matter, "ad nauseum." McClellan fired back, denying the charge and suggesting that the newsman was getting "all dramatic about it."
The transcript is an interesting and sometimes nauseating read. Honesty or truth would nice, maybe for Christmas? How about it White House?
