CNN) -- The allegations made by President Bush in the State of the Union address that Iraq tried to buy uranium in Africa has set off a political firestorm in Washington. The White House now says the claim was unsubstantiated, and CIA Director George Tenet Friday took responsibility for the mistake.

Schneider, a South African export, went to the Nelson Mandela school of communism.

Weilding the name of their hero as an epithet. Nice try.

That 38 percent is an interesting number because that's exactly the percentage of people who say that they would support a Democrat over President Bush. The indication is that's probably Democrats who are saying that.

Yep....I may be insulated because I freep here, watch Fox News, and live in a conservative neighborhood....BUT....
Around these parts, this has no legs....no buzz...no nothing.

Only Democrat Political junkies gives a rats ass about this.

Well, there's something rather, to be a bit impolite, Clintonian about saying it was factually correct that the British were reporting it, when the CIA knew very well that the report was very dubious.

I can remember a time when the media were breathlessly in awe about things done in a Clintonian fashion. Of course, that was during the Clinton years.

"So as long as Americans believe, yes, the weapons were there, the president is likely to get off the hook," said Schneider with a sigh of disgust at facing the fact that the Dims plan to bring him down isn't working.

The Clinton News Network and their guilty allies in the media will do anything to destroy America.

Schneider's okay. He generally tries to keep it evenhanded but there are times when he can't help himself from the liberal feeding frenzy. A good example was during the media's last-ditch effort at drowning the Bush candidacy a day before the election with the DUI story. Schneider announced it with glee. Matalin questioned the validity of the story. Schneider laughed and said of course it's vital news. The media is just a corrupt business- the best you can hope for is someone who tries to be intellectually honest half the time...until we can reform it.

[Brasil]

There they go again. The worst thing the demagogues can say about President Bush is that he is 'klintonian.'

[raybbr]

Well, there's something rather, to be a bit impolite, Clintonian...

Just another drop in their credibility to report fairly. Here he is admitting that Clinton lied but he wouldn't do it while Klintoon was in office.

[Reagan Man]

Once again, Bill Schneider's irrelevancy is showing.

[olliemb]

I believe in that interview the CNN reporter ended the interview by saying that this news was like pulling the string on a sock--just keeps on unraveling. Sheesh

Schneider: Bush administration's 'Clintonian' behavior

But when it was IMPOTUSx42 that was using "Clintonian behavior"...the media fell to it's knees and Monica'd him in AWE of his ability to dodge, deflect, and obfuscate!

Here, Persident Bush makes a factually CORRECT statement, that has YET to be proven wrong, and they get out the long knives and drool over another Watergate!

What we have here is, the Lamestream Media has now shown that LYING from a demonRAT is to be admired and believed, and TRUTH from an (R) must be investigated, parsed, and inevitably LIED about in order to discredit the (R) President!!!
