"Schmidt said the comment was prompted by a conversation she had with state Rep. Danny Bubp, though he denies discussing Murtha with Schmidt. "

This morning on CNN, the apology was being discussed and one of the anchors said - indignantly - something to the effect that 'the guy she supposedly talked to has denied it.'

Interesting. The comment gave the clear impression that the Marine she talked to denied it. This quote says someone she discussed it with denied they were talking about Murtha. Which is what Schmidt is saying anyway.

Ahhhh, what you can do with misdirection and a little spin.

Not to mention, the Marine she quoted did not deny the substance of the remark, only that it was directed at Murtha. So once again, CNN lied. "We lie, you decide."
