You both got it right on the money.

If you tell the lie long enough, people will believe it.

Nobody wanted to be the front man on this attack, so they sent out the dufus to be the fall guy. Reminds me of older kids making the young sibling ask the stupid question of the parents. The youngster doesn't know any better. In this case, they send out the elder drooler to do the dirty work.

I agree with both of you....say it often enough, it becomes innuendo, right out of the Rat playbook.
I hope GW and his administration has a plan to counter this.....Im waiting.
