Edit Story is up:
In seeming break with his public comments on discredited White House reporter Jeff Gannon, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has declined to sign a letter calling for an inquiry, RAW STORY has learned. Meanwhile, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has signed on.

Biden press secretary Chip Unruh said the senator was not given enough time to carefully consider the letter circulated by Democratic whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). Unruh expressed frustration that his office was given only a few hours to seek the senator’s opinion.

“Senator Kerry will be signing,” April Boyd, Kerry’s deputy press secretary, said.

“Given the unprecedented level of security in Washington since 9/11, it is troubling that that a non-journalist using a false name and working for a sham news organization could have gained regular access to the White House for such an extended period of time,” Durbin wrote.
