Bush Web Site Pulls Clips After NBC Complains

[CatWoman]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 — Criticism from Republicans and Democrats that President Bush gave a shaky performance on Sunday on "Meet the Press" did not stop his re-election campaign from incorporating digitally enhanced excerpts from it into a promotional video that it posted on its Web site on Tuesday.

The campaign said it would remove the video from the site after NBC News complained that it was unfairly using the interview to support the re-election effort. The campaign said that it had violated no laws, but that it decided to take the video off after it realized how angry NBC News was over the use.

Heaven knows; anyone bent on being a "war president" vs. a "war-time president" is compensating for something.

7. Well if it's not against the law?

Can the dems use the video for their campaign and issue ads? There are some classic moments from that interview that should be played over and over and over again, just like Janet's boob.
