Ellison disputes press accounts of his call for Gibbs' dismissal

Call it a puff of smoke from left field.

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison said Tuesday night that he did not call on White House press secretary Robert Gibbs to resign.

The Minnesota Democrat says reports to the contrary, including here on Hotdish, are �wrong.�

Following reports in the Huffington Post that he was calling for Gibbs to go, he released a statement saying �in the final weeks before a critical midterm election Democrats need to pull together, not go after each other.�

�To set the record straight, I did not call for White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to resign,� he says. �Unfortunately the Huffington Post and other media outlets got the story wrong. I did say, however, that he went too far in his rhetoric. We all know that words matter in politics. I hope that Mr. Gibbs has reconsidered the wisdom of his words.�

9. What else is new? Huffington Post is ten times worse than Drudge,

because people actually thought that Arianna was a woman of integrity. Now we all know better.
