In other news, I have just cleared myself of ever being rude or impatient with my wife.

Her complaints are hereby deemed to be baseless.

About as much credibility as my denials of night time gas have with my wife..

Get a dog and a duck. She'll never know who did it then.

PS - Don't do "Dutch Oven" then blame dog and duck for smell and sound.

President Obama's chief counsel has concluded that no White House staffers in Colombia were involved in wrongdoing...

I guess they seek to quell speculation?

...and the meaning of is is?

Let's parse this out: "no White House staffers in Colombia"

Are there any White House staffers in Colombia right now?

"involved in wrongdoing...

Define wrongdoing. Is it wrongdoing as defined legally under US law, Colombian law, White House ethics -what?

This is very Clintonesque. Let's parse, shall we?

"...there have been no specific credible allegations of misconduct..." is code for:
There were several credible allegations, and probably tangible proof, that misconduct occurred by the White House staff. But, we not going to do a damned thing about it.

“no specific credible”

How Clintonesque...

Carney is not good at it either. He looks like a bold face liar.

Ha - good one!

Pretty much what I was thinking too. Even in the world of leftist whitewashing denials, this came out quick. Pegs the BS meter.

What do they mean by “specific”?

What do they mean by “credible”?

What do they mean by “allegations”?

And pray tell-what is the definition of “misconduct” when defined by the most immoral,hideous and corrupt WH in history?

The best part about investigating yourself is you get to declare yourself innocent and everyone believes you. /s

Democrats would not accept this “investigation” clearing up a matter related to the Bush White House.
