The Bush campaign and truth …
Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman: “The fact is this campaign is unprecedented in our praise of our opponent’s service during Vietnam.”
Apropos of Mehlman’s Orwellian remark, who sent Bob Dole onto the Sunday shows today?
Dole doesn’t make such appearances not under direction. He’s a party man, a partisan.
There’s nothing wrong with that. But that means he doesn’t freelance. But who gave him his talking points?
It answers itself. The White House sent him out.
Needless to say, it’s not a question that occurred to Blitzer to ask. But someone should. One of the biggs should ring him up.
