White House Press Secretary Scott McClellen 48 hours ago, responding to a question about the investigation into Sandy Berger:
“What we’ve seen is, and what we know is what has been reported in the news media. It is apparently an investigation that is underway, and the questions are best directed at Department of Justice.”
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellen 24 hours later, responding to a question about whether the White House was aware of the investigation before news reports:
“I’m glad you asked that question, because I first became aware when the news reports came out. But my understanding is that this investigation has been going on for several months and that some officials in our Counsel’s Office were contacted, as part of the investigation.”
That’s quite a quick reversal. If the Kerry campaign did this, do you think the media would call it a flip-flop?
