He's just trying to get on the cocktail circuit in D.C.

Some things never change -- Lindlaw was a jerk in 2000 and has been ever since. AP is getting to have about the same credibility as CBS -- zero, zip, nada! So now we have Lindlaw appearing under a different by-line as we all know he is biased?

Lying LindLaw may have thought he saw one person out of thousands boo. In his pathetic mind, that was enough reason to smear the whole audience and admonish Bush by lying.

If that's true, why didn't Laidlaw's name go on the byline instead of a guy (Hayes) who wasn't there?

And, then when AP corrected the story, there was no reporter bylined?

Lindlaw said, "What I had to say I put in the wire."

Translation: "McAuliffe's check cleared. I did what I was paid to do. Leave me alone."

Is this guy joking? Has he seen the tape of that rally that proves him 100% wrong!

I guess this fool is Rather's long-lost illegitimate son.

This "That's my story and I'm sticking with it" line is going to be the downfall of the MSM.

Okay, I'm reasonably certain that there just might have been one or two low-lifes at the rally and that they might have boo'ed the President when he spoke of Clinton. Just remeber the reactions some here at FR had.

BUT - to report "the crowd booed" and the President did nothing to stop it is beyond belief.

I guess the New Ethics in Journalism states - report whatever fits your agenda and, when confronted with overwhelming evidence that your report is false, stick by your report and refuse to answer any further questions.

We should preface any future AP articles penned by him with a LINDLAW ALERT.

When asked if he heard booing as he reported, he replied, "I did."

Then it was an error to change the story.

Here's a jab to all those who accused Tom Hays of being the original author.

I'll tell you what's wrong with these people...they hate republicans and especially conservative republicans but they hate this country more! The MSM is going to get people killed. When this happens, all hell is going to break loose and the MSM is going to have to pay a price for their lying and distorting the news. I hope I live long enough to see them pay a price for their arrogant views. Watch the little rats scurry then!

Scott Lindlaw -- remember that name, it's the name of another liar from the MSM.
