Wolfson Denies Clinton Campaign's Official Involvement

in Obama photo brouhaha:

Asked if the campaign had any role, Wolfson said, "No, not to my knowledge...I've never seen that picture before. I'm not aware that anyone else here has. I'm not aware that anyone here has circulated this e-mail."

Wolfson did say, however, that the campaign agreed with part of the message in the email -- that if the same photo had appeared of Hillary, it would have been a big story: "It is a common view among this campaign and our supporters that there is a difference in how the media covers our campaign and how it covers Senator Obama."

Wolfson also grew exasperated with a reporter who pressed the issue, saying: "If you have any original reporting to suggest that this campaign was circulating this e-mail, please let me know."

"We've been very clear that we're not aware of it," he added. "Obviously the campaign didn't sanction it, and don't know anything about it."

pushing the "plagiarism" story. And then put his tail between his legs when asked whether Sen Clinton had ever done something similar.

WHY would this have been a big story if it was Hillary in that picture? WTF? So he's saying simply wearing that garb was a controversy, no matter if the candidate had already been smeared by false claims that he was a Muslim which were designed to play into fears dating from 9/11....

Not good enough, Howie. Find out what happened and fill us in. Aren't you a teensy bit curious?

'Not to my knowledge' is nothing more than a wiggle statement.

characterization of it. Their headline is "Hillary Spokesperson Wolfson Strongly Denies Campaign Officially Pushed Obama Turban Pic"

All he's saying is, he's not aware of it. That's a denial on behalf of Wolfson, not the campaign.

Gotta love how he just so happens to agree with the sentiments expressed by the "nonexistent" email from their campaign.

Lamer than lame.
