Ari Fleischer Blasts CPI Study: ‘They’re Only Attacking Republicans’ For Pre-War Iraq Lies

Yesterday on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes, co-host Alan Colmes interrogated former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer about a new study by the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism that found the Bush administration issued 935 false statements about the threat from Iraq in the two years following 9/11.

<snip>

When confronted about his false statements, Fleischer responded that the study is “making the attack against everybody who said what the CIA had legitimately reported to two administrations. But they’re only attacking Republicans for it. … We were wrong. We’ve always said that. But the Democrats were wrong.”

Sean Hannity refused to accept Fleischer’s concession. “Ari, I don’t think you were wrong. I’m sure those weapons were moved.” Watch it:

That reminds me of a joke.

Two right-wing nuts were sitting on a TV sound stage...you've already heard it? Nevermind.

:rofl:

gawd, why doesn't Hannity just put himself out of his misery?

As if anyone other than this corrupt administration had all the information in its hand. As if anyone other than this corrupt administration was calling the shots, pulling the strings, or had access to the national platforms to stampede public opinion. Either they have incredibly short memories, or they're counting on the general public to have incredibly short memories.

Well, they're betting house money on the favorite in terms of short memories when it comes to the popular media's memories. They don't remember a fucking thing, certainly not that this corrupt administration has lied in their faces over and over again.

we'll check out their honesty

Waaaaahhh! "We were wrong. We've always said that. But the Democrats were wrong." Waaaaahhh!

Sure after being lied too and trusting that you liars were not in fact LYING!

Not much of an excuse, but there it is.

So glad the "adults" are in charge. :silly:

And they got it wrong? They lied their collective a$$es off. Can't afford too admit that though, now can they?

:rofl:

Do they listen to themselves?
