UPDATE: This just in–Rmoney and GOP pull ads from Michigan and Pennsylvania
h/t to commenter JWB
So the AP decided to fact check President Clinton’s speech last night. You’d swear that Ron Fournier was back at AP and taking his direction from Karl Rove, like the old days.
When Clinton brought up the Rmoney Campaign’s recent statement that they weren’t going to be “dictated by fact checkers”, to which Clinton stated “they finally said something I can agree with”, the AP report on that portion invoked Monica Lewinski.
CLINTON: “Their campaign pollster said, ‘We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.’ Now that is true. I couldn’t have said it better myself — I just hope you remember that every time you see the ad.”
THE FACTS: Clinton, who famously finger-wagged a denial on national television about his sexual relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky and was subsequently impeached in the House on a perjury charge, has had his own uncomfortable moments over telling the truth. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” Clinton told television viewers. Later, after he was forced to testify to a grand jury, Clinton said his statements were “legally accurate” but also allowed that he “misled people, including even my wife.”
Did Ron Fournier return to the AP, because they suck. Again.Post + Comments (111)
