Imus to Mitchell: "Were you drunk when you lied about Valerie Plame"?

Imus: It seems unclear what you said and perhaps you can clear it up about what you said back in Oct. of 2003---

Mitchell: I have been trying to figure out "what-the-heck" I was talking about, frankly. There is confusion because I am confused.

Imus: So when you told Alan Murray of CNBC, that it was widely known that his wife worked for the CIA-(interruption)--what were you drunk?

Mitchell: I don't even remember the deal...

(later)

Imus: His question seems plain...Imus: What this suggests to me is that you knew she worked at the CIA, but you didn't know what she did there. Isn't that fair-did you know that?

Mitchell-(garbled)

Imus: Why did you say that Andrea?

Mitchell: I messed up...(later)

Imus: Russert was a little short with me---almost like he was trying to hide something....

Imus laughing: I realized-well this is an unfair thing to say, I was gonna say- all you folks in Washington are all in bed with one another, but that would be an awful thing to say....

I can't agree with you more on that point. Listen to Andrea discuss Booby. She says Bob Woodward is a great journalist who made one "teenie-weenie" mistake. Notice she spews the BW company line that they told him casually about Valerie and says that it wasn't "something important until it became important." I agree with Imus, she is drunk.

Andrea: Bob Woodward is a terrific reporter, there is no one like Bob Woodward. He has done extraordinary work---(later) If people make one mistake in the course of a thirty five year career when they have been bullet proof---

Then she says that we don't know if Libby is lying. I'm too tired to go on.....

Obviously there's more than a few little white lies going on about this.

He spent more time passed out in his own vomitus than most people spend on these here internets!!!!

andrea must have been drunk on the show.

just another example of ths supposedly objective media who always manages to protect the Bushboy while slanting her stories and punditry against Democrats and especially all last year against Kerry.

and they should pay for it

My question is why is she now backtracking away from her statement.
If she had known that "everyone knew she (Plame) was CIA", this would be beneficial to Libby, and his claim that he found out from Reporters. She is also claiming to never have spoken to Fitz either.

Is she disavowing her statement to avoid being subpeonaed? What is her motive?

:rofl::rofl::D:rofl::D:bounce:
YOU LYING GLITCH

Matthews always has on his show. I don't think I have ever seen that woman say anything remotely connected to reality. The media has been largely complacent AND corrupted. It could not be any more obvious...and thus, our democracy...

It's this simple: Anyone can forget a conversation that happened 90 days in the past. Only a liar can remember one that never happened.
