Just heard something on MSGOP

[maine_raptor]

the Kerry spokeman said that one of the NotSoSwifty backers had admitted going to the White House several time.

Anybody know anything about that?

[Sparkly]

1. Wow, I missed that.

Interesting!!!

[murielm99]

2. Yeeee Haw!

Have not heard...keep us informed.

This is great.

We know they are crooks. Now let's just prove it.

3. MSNBC is probably our only station

that is kinda nice to us.
If you heard it there it is probably true.

4. The frequent White House visitor was none other than

Ms. Spaeth. She is coordinating the production of the ads. Apparently she did a similar task in producing ads against John McCain during the 2000 campaign.

Interestingly enough, according to the NYT article, on one ocasion, she was given a guided White House tour by none other than Ken Starr. Real birds of a feather this crowd is....

8. Ok, so WH guest Logs would confirm this....

and show the dates and times, right?

Timing of those visits and when the ads were produced would be VERY interesting.

5. Hope it proves true....

keep us posted. :kick:

6. Maybe Merrie Spaeth again?

But this week Ms. Spaeth acknowledged that she had spent an hour in the Old Executive Office Building, part of the White House complex, in the spring of 2003, giving Mr. Bush's chief economic adviser, Stephen Friedman, public speaking advice. Asked if it was possible that she had worked with other administration officials, Ms. Spaeth said, "The answer is 'no,' unless you refresh my memory.''

10. That's my impression too. Let's do "refresh her memory," shall we? nt

7. Sh_t is hitting the fan

Will *bush lose his matching funds over this? That would be awesome.

14. Not sure that would hurt him

Since he could probably raise far more than $75 million (although that might compete with other Republican candidates' fundraising efforts).

What we want is for his campaign to be publicly fined and humiliated. Won't hurt him with its base, but might damage him with independents and swing voters. (Wheeee!)

9. It was in the NYT article from Thursday

All emphasis mine, note carefully the last line quoted!

Friendly Fire: The Birth of an Anti-Kerry Ad

When asked if she had ever visited the White House during Mr. Bush's tenure, Ms. Spaeth initially said that she had been there only once, in 2002, when Kenneth Starr gave her a personal tour. But this week Ms. Spaeth acknowledged that she had spent an hour in the Old Executive Office Building, part of the White House complex, in the spring of 2003, giving Mr. Bush's chief economic adviser, Stephen Friedman, public speaking advice. Asked if it was possible that she had worked with other administration officials, Ms. Spaeth said, "The answer is 'no,' unless you refresh my memory.''

11. In other words, unless you can prove I'm lieing it's the truth.

Nice.

[frylock]

12. old executive office building is cheney's office..

things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Nordic]

13. Bushco is gonna end up being really sorry they did any of this

They have no idea what they're dealing with here.

We have the truth on our side, we have the anger of injustice on our side, we have the firepower all on our side.

If Bushco wants to play dirty, well, he won't survive the next three months. He'll be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

Which is how it SHOULD be in the first place.

I think this is great. This will make Kerry Edwards take the gloves off, which is HOW IT SHOULD BE!

GO GO GO!
