Get your Wilson/Rove Talking Points here-direct from the RNC

[underpants]

I ran across Rush spewing these out yesterday afternoon and Gingrich reading them line for line on O'Reilly last night.

BTW- the one about Wilson's report not changing the status of intelligence reports on yellow cake from Niger is my favorite-the reason it didn't change the assessment was because the document was already a joke in DC and the intelligence community. It didn't change it because Wilson's report agreed with the (obvious) conclusions everyone had already reached. GEESH!

1. Cliff May on CNN

still spewing:

Wilson said that Cheney's office sent him to Niger, he lied.

Wilson's wife sent him to Niger and the Intelligence Committee has memos to prove it.

The lies are being perpetuated

3. Let's say his wife did send him,

even though we know she did not.

Would it have been a crime if she had? What exactly is their point?

6. As usual they are spinning like a top

AS far as I can tell Wilson never said she made the decision she just recommended him (she has no authority to send him anyway) so they are just changing the beginning to fit their end.

2. Are any these talking points

or the republican spin version?

4. Newt was spouting them this morning on the Today show also.

The Wash Journal callers seem to have these down. Ken Mehlmen was on CNN yesterday doing it too but so did Kyra Phillips - a CNN anchor.

It is only 8:00 am (CST) and already my head is about to explode.

I HATE it when we go into these one-way spin cycles with the Republicans out spewing, smearing and lying and no one is countering it. The news anchors sure as hell don't challenge them.

5. I turn off the media when they go one way - with lies - all the time.

:-(

8. It is one of those days. I think I'll just listen to AAR.

:(

7. I missed him on the Today Show

What was funny was O'Reilly just letting Gingrich spew endlessly. O'Reilly just looked like he was punching the clock for the RNC- he didn't look to convinced.

9. Katie just let him spew also. It was really disgusting.

10. Was this AFTER the Vince Vaughan sitdown interview?

I saw that-very interesting and much more fact based than anything Newt could possibly have to say.

11. I missed Vince. I must have turned over to Wash Journal to listen

to callers recite the GOP talking points.
