Cautions Press on Remaining Members of Reality-Based Community
[via Think Progress/Wonkette] Agitprop can't even be snarky about this it's so blatant, so it's presented sans commentary:
That’s Not Accurate: White House Alters Transcript of Press Briefing There is a brewing controversy about what exactly was said at the White House press conference on October 31. Everyone agrees NBC’s David Gregory said this:
Q. Whether there’s a question of legality, we know for a fact that there was involvement. We know that Karl Rove, based on what he and his lawyer have said, did have a conversation about somebody who Patrick Fitzgerald said was a covert officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. We know that Scooter Libby also had conversations.
Congressional Quarterly and FNS both transcribed Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s answer as “That’s accurate.” The White House transcript lists McClellan’s answer as “I don’t think that’s accurate.”
We’ve isolated the clip so you can judge for yourself: Watch in QuickTime streaming. If you listened to the clip, it’s clear McClellan says “that’s accurate.” Nevertheless, the White House is trying to get CQ and FNS to change their transcripts. They’ve refused. [emphasis supplied.]
i don't see the problem here, i can accept changing the past to reflect what he now wishes he would have said.
seems fair to me.

Are these ass clowns so stupid they haven't discovered that other people than themselves have tape and video recorders? Talk about brain dead.

Yeah, what's so wrong with editing? It's not like they haven't done it before...

Ah! Changing history...the easy way. So I suppose Bush really said: "insignificant quantities of uranium from Africa" and "...in the form of mushroom soup..." and "we do not horseturd" and "mission impossible" and "joe wilson's knife" and...

This is but a turdlett, life as usual. Did you know that Natalie Holloway is still missing?

So how about the C-Span transcript ?

we just don't understand because we live in the reality based community. If you're making your own reality up as you go along, you can change things that have already happened.

PROPS to mark. Great comment.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing that on these reality shows that sometimes the participants forget the cameras are on. I'm getting really bored with this one, though. I can't believe there are three more seasons. I can't believe Powell got voted off and Cheney and Rumsfeld still have immunity. Libby getting the boot was no surprise, although I'm sure he'll turn up in his own CourTV reality show.

Yes, but I understand that there are some great package deals to Aruba right now ...

If wishes were horses, Michael Brown would never have been the head of FEMA...
Sorry Scotty, you said it, now take your whipping like a "boy"...

Jesus told them to change it at their Friday end of week get-together.
