Lanny Davis CLAIMS White House THREATENED HIM TOO

[Segami]

First Bob Woodward, now Lanny Davis. The former special counsel to President Clinton came forward Thursday with a claim that he, too, received a threatening message from the Obama administration. "That exact thing happened to me," Davis told WMAL in Washington. "And I haven't spoken of this before."


Davis said his editor at the paper, John Solomon, received a call from a White House official who threatened to revoke the paper's White House credentials if he continued to publish Davis' columns.


"Now that is unfortunate," Davis said. "It is an intemperate person. I think it's the same person -- I'm not gonna mention names -- who must have called Woodward, because it sounded like the same language."


Politico revealed Thursday that White House economic adviser Gene Sperling sent Woodward the message that he would regret his reporting. It turned out Sperling's message was not very threatening. He said, "I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim."

1. Lanny Davis is a RW tool

[hedgehog]

2. So the White House threatened to pull the credentials and

implied endorsement of someone who had an ax to grind? Not much of a threat, in my book. Any White House can pull the credentials, then be forced to explain that action. If there's a problem, the White House will end up taking the heat.

3. As if I'd believe anything that

comes out of his vile mouth.

4. Hahaha!! Lanny piled on late on a bogus comment by Woodward! Can't get any better! nt.

[Segami]

8. His timing was definitely off.

Does he want his eggs scrambled or poached!

[Dawson Leery]

5. And we are to believe him?

[still_one]

6. Lanny who? In my book he is an irrelevant nobody

[Whisp]

7. scuzzbucket davis

what a joke of a rodent he is

[Politicalboi]

9. Next it will be that

Toe sucking piece of shit Dick Morris. Lanny Davis is pathetic.

[Laurian]

10. Lanny's auditioning for a Fox gig.

He's been out of vogue for a long time, looking to make himself relevant to someone....anyone.

[Cali_Democrat]

14. If I recall correctly, he actually was a Fox Newz Democratic "analyst" after the 2008 election

It's interesting how the Dems on that channel seem to dislike Obama. Fox News even featured Pat Cadell as a Dem analyst and he urged Obama to resign and not run in 2012.

11. "Who's paying you, Lanny?"

watch Jane Hamsher drop an elbow from the sky on Lanny on the Ed Shcultz show.

13. What a toad!

There DINOS are a ridiculous bunch.. Harold Ford/Lanny/Snakehead/and a bunch of others I cannot remember right now..

They enjoyed their day in the sun, and now that they have been pushed into the shadows, they all want to be relevant again, so they stumble on each other to race to a microphone to shout haw they were done-wrong too..

[Tempest]

15. I hope he has hard evidence

Otherwise he's going to look as stupid as Woodward.

[JHB]

17. Like Woodward, when he reads he "hears" Vito Corleone...

"I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim."

[TheKentuckian]

19. Fuck Lanny Davis with a rusty dumpster

This is regardless of any action from the Administration and a statement of general principle.

[grasswire]

21. so, to be accurate....

...the WH didn't threaten Davis, it threatened John Solomon?

FWIW, I don't believe for a minute that the WH threatened to withdraw credentials for a newspaper.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

22. I'd pay extra in tax dollars to have these fuckwads threatened more often. nt
