“ALKING back the lie. I spoke with Corporate 15 minutes after the story broke. THEY DID NOT DENY IT”
As we learned from the Dems attacking Bush, not denying something and confirming something are two ENTIRELY different responses:
“President Bush, did your administration leak the name of Valarie Plame to the media?”
Response from Bush: “I’ll check on that”
Headline next day: “BUSH ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT DENY LEAKING THE NAME OF VALARIE PLAME”
Story after the headline: “In a breaking scandal, the Bush Administration admits that they may have leaked Valarie Plane’s name to the media...”
BIG DIFFERENCE!!! In the corporate world, people are TRAINED to not talk in absolutes, unless the information has been pre-cleared by Legal. That was likely the case here.
Bob, I am the man that actually called Corporate. The man on the line said he didn’t agree with the stance either... he also said he would forward my comments to upper management about this “new decision”. You believe what you want to believe... I KNOW what I heard and I know what was meant by it. Walmart has lost me forever. So has Sam’s club. I spent 10’s of thousands of dollars a year when Sam’s is included. These were business purchases... I will now go online for my needs. You are free to do and believe whatever you wish.
