McDermott: Bush Will 'Lie' to Get U.S. Into War
NewsMax ^ | 9/21/02 | Limbacher

In the latest example of the Democratic Party thumbing its nose at President Bush's "new tone" politics, Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., is predicting that the White House will falsify evidence against Iraq in order to win support for the war.

"The President of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war," McDermott said Tuesday, in a clip broadcast only once on NBC's "Today Show."

The incendiary comment was quickly deep-sixed by the media, with the exception of U.S. News & World Report's "Washington Whispers" column, which mentions the episode briefly without offering the full quote in the editions hitting newsstands on Monday.

The last time McDermott's nasty partisan streak was on display was when he was involved with a Florida couple who had illegally recorded a private conversation between then-Speaker Newt Gingrich and several senior House Republicans.

The Washington state Democrat was suspected of delivering the tape to the New York Times, which splashed a transcript of the private call across its front page with an accompanying report claiming Gingrich had violated the terms of his House ethics committee plea bargain.
