White House Reacts to Joe Wilson's Deception

[ConservativeMajority]

From Thursday's White House press briefing:

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: Last Friday, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report that shows that Ambassador Joe Wilson lied when he said his wife didn't put him up for the mission to Niger. The British inquiry into their own prewar intelligence yesterday concluded that the President's 16 words were "well-founded." Doesn't Joe Wilson owe the President and America an apology for his deception and his own intelligence failure?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, one, let me point out that I think those reports speak for themselves on that issue. And I think if you have questions about that, you can direct that to Mr. Wilson.

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: Well, we spent so many weeks here dissecting the 16 words that are now absolutely true. Don't you think --

HELEN THOMAS: How do you know that?

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: Excuse me, Helen. Don't you think that America deserves the opportunity to have this information brought forward, as well?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I noticed the media reports on this very issue over the weekend.

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: There were very few of them.

MR. McCLELLAN: And I certainly recognize that it was getting a lot of attention previously. But I think the reports speak for themselves on it.

He should have said, "Excuse you, Helen you ignorant windbag".

Of course the Press will not pick it up unless its FOX.

I was thinking about posting the column...

HELEN THOMAS: How do you know that?

ROTF! She actually butted in to interrogate a colleague whose question she obviously didn't care for!

[SF Republican]

Why the heck is Helen A allowed to be there and B question questionnaires questions

[Area51]

Nah just let her go back to what she does best...

Ringing the Bell in the Notre Dame Catherdral.

[Mike Bates]

HELLn Thomas can bite me.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. . .

HELEN THOMAS: How do you know that?

Hasn't anyone put her to pasture yet? Hey Helen, try reading something other than your own by-line once in a while. (And, while you're at it, consider learning some manners!)

Jeff, did you turn into stone when you glimpsed her visage?

[beyond the sea]

I guess Wilson doesn't have to worry about who is going to play his wife in the movie now that we have found out he is a lying rat.

Wilson is a dirtball Dem. operative, plain and simple. But of course, the media won't tell the truth of the matter.

[Enterprise]

Joe Wilson does indeed owe President Bush, and the American people, an apology for his stupidity, incompetence, and arrogant partisanship. Further, his wife owes President Bush, and the American people, an apology for recommending him for the job he botched. If nothing else, it should be noted in her official employment record that she showed a gross lack of judgment because of her biased recommendation, and that lack of judgment should preclude her from future promotions and classified assignments.

As was pointed out on another thread, not only was this guy willing to lie for personal gain, he was willing to lie about a terror supporting, avowed America-hating dictator's quest for material to make a nuclear bomb!

Isn't THAT treason?

[Frank_Discussion]

I don't even understand the Penguin's question. What was she trying to say?

[Quilla]

She actually butted in to interrogate a colleague whose question she obviously didn't care for!

LOL! Butting in is the only way she can interject herself into a conversation these days.

[lonevoice]

Good job, Jeff. But, how do you keep yourself from slapping Helen?
