I find it hard to believe is it accurate, given that not only did Dean and Selebius deny it, but also Sam Brownback.

So the only person we have involved in either conversation that says the conversation took place is some anonymous but “trusted” source. If Brownback had said a conversation did take place, I might still believe it even though the other two parties denied it. But I can’t imagine Brownback denying a conversation took place at all, if there was a conversation.

Some have surmized that the source is a “Brownback for President” aide. The Senators own staff would know enough not to leak this story because it really makes Brownback look bad.

Hopefully, if this is true the aide will come forward.

I don’t know, lots of stuff gets said privately that no pol ever wants published.

I can.
