Scott McClellan endorsed the contents of the CBS memos today

[Proud2BAmurkin]

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, that's a hypothetical question, John. We received those documents from a major news organization. We had every reason to believe that they were authentic at that time.

[Hekate]

1. Say what? (pounds ear incredulously)

Scott said that? Must have been a slip of the tongue that he inadvertantly told the truth. Had to have been an accident. There'll be a denial soon, if one has not already been issued.

2. how does this guy live

with all the lies he has to tell everyday?

[guitar man]

3. every reason being

that they KNOW GW* was a major fuckoff. Nothing out of character for him in the memos.

4. If the information in the memos was false, why would WH have any reason

to believe they were authentic? Wouldn't their boss, upon having them read to him, have said, "this is bulls*t! They have to be fakes!"

5. No he didn't

Scotty's still a liar, always has been. Read the next few sentences:

"And in keeping with the spirit of releasing documents and being open about all the documents that we have, we made those documents available to everybody else so you could look at them yourselves. Since that time there have been a number of questions that have been raised about these documents and their authenticity. There continue to be questions raised. Those are serious issues; they ought to be looked into fully.

The one thing that is not under question is the timing of these orchestrated attacks by the Democrats on the President's service. These are old, recycled attacks, and the Democrats have made it clear that they intend to try to tear down the President and throw the kitchen sink at us because they can't run on John Kerry's record, and because they see him falling behind in the polls. And that's what this is about."
