There's just the barest nod here to the Howell mess. First the McClellan quote, then Dan's response to McC's remarks:
MR. McCLELLAN: I'm not aware of anything that has anything to do with the investigation. I know that there's some Democrats that want to try to make this -- try to engage in partisan attacks. But what we do know from media reports is that Mr. Abramoff gave directly or indirectly to Democrats and Republicans. Trying to say there's more to it than the President taking a picture in a photo line is just absurd."
But McClellan's continued attempt to portray the Abramoff scandal as bipartisan doesn't exactly help his credibility on the question of White House meetings. His assertion flies in the face of the facts and is a Republican talking point espoused only by the most partisan or most credulous.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100879.html:D Commanding understatement. I MISSED him.
Congratulations to the new papa!
