This whole "I was mistaken" bit today does not pass the smell test.
Think about it - Axelrod was/is one of Obama's very closest aides, and he didn't say "I think" or "I assume" or "I expect"..... he said "I KNOW he's talked to the governor"
Axelrod is a careful, disciplined man. He does not say something like that unless he KNOWS what he says is true.
But he said that two weeks ago - prior to this tarring Obama.
I am quite certain they are all going through all of their interviews and written materials about right now before the press does.
There will be more back-pedaling, and during a slow news month, this couldn’t come at a better time!
So, let’s hear it for independent counsel??
“This whole “I was mistaken” bit today does not pass the smell test.”
No, it does not.
-sigh-
It’s going to be a loooooong four years.
