This is priceless. From ABC’s The Note:
MUM’S THE WORD FROM TEAM OBAMA: “We have nothing — no involvement with any ads that are done by Priorities USA. We don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family,” Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said yesterday. “As you know, campaign finance rules in that regard are in place for a reason. At the same time, while we’re talking about this ad, which we all know we had no involvement in, Mitt Romney’s team is running a dishonest ad, an ad that is a big, bold-faced lie that even President Clinton has said was disappointing and inaccurate [emphasis ours],” Psaki said referring to a recent ad produced by the Romney campaign attacking what they say is President Obama’s dismantling of the Clinton-era welfare reform law.
What – like normally you’d expect Clinton to side with another liar? But this time he didn’t?
That’s some legacy you got there, Bubba.
Oh c’mon, that’s not what it means and you know it, you big grouch. The ad in question claims that Romney holds the same position as Clinton, suggesting that Obama’s welfare bill is to the left of Clinton, so when Psaki says “even President Clinton has said…” she means “even the guy you’re quoting in your ad says it’s wrong.”
Otherwise the same could apply to all the “journalists” you keep pointing out that Romney is quoting in ads, as if they support him — right?
I dunno, Mick – I still like my version.
