Funny, the link you provide to the Louisville TV Station is titled Aide: McConnell didn't mislead public. Isn't that a rather glaring er...mistake to make?

Between this and the post of Greg Sargent's in which he mistakenly gets the transcript from the video wrong (of course with comments disabled), I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible for you people to be honest at all about this story.

... to Washington reporters. In it, he noted that some conservative bloggers were questioning the financial status of a boy asking Congress to override President bush's veto of the S-CHIP Bill.

It's a fine point, bill, and p'rhaps too nuanced for one of your particular 'accomplishments', but the story appears to say McConnell's aide sent misleading info to the DC press corpse, but refrained from shitting in his home town paper...

Sorry, but that's not nuance. That doesn't even qualify as spin. The news story link says the opposite of what this poster claims. And don't even get me started on the content of the story or the video. There's just no getting around it. This post, as well as the multitude of other from the lefty blogs on this story, are flat out dishonest. You should be ashamed.

needs to be ashamed the way your guys need to be every breath you take..
I was quoting the story to which it appeared you were replying.
That seems to me to be the germane issue.

No, bill, NOT "german"...
Vocabulary, stat.

Honestly, I think you're attempting to smear/slime/swift-boat me here. I know you people are supposed to get real upset about thing like that, even if it occurs only in your fevered imaginations.

This posts says McConnell admits something, the story at the link says he denies something..and here you are desperately trying to change to subject. *cackle*

Here's the story, complete and entire (emphasis supplied):

An aide to Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell says the senator didn't mislead WHAS11 News.

Don Stewart, an aide to McConnell, admits he sent an e-mail to Washington reporters. In it, he noted that some conservative bloggers were questioning the financial status of a boy asking Congress to override President bush's veto of the S-CHIP Bill.

Stewart says he told the senator about his e-mails on Thursday.

Last Friday, WHAS11's Mark Hebert asked McConnell if he or anyone on his staff had anything to do with an effort to dig into the background of 12-year-old Graeme Frost.

Stewart says there was no effort by him or anyone else in McConnell’s office to slime the 12-year-old, as Democrats allege.

In fact, McConnell’s aide says he sent a follow up e-mail to reporters, telling them there was no story, defending the Frost family.

Ok, genius, 'splain the highlighted passages>

Whoa -- was that non-response the sound of someone's head exploding? Well, not exploding exactly, more like a teensy plop of implosion, since there doesn't seem to be any actual there there in Mr. Bill's cranium. Oh noooooooo ...reality strikes again, with that **hiss** liberal* bias.

Sorry Bill, just had to do it. All in good fun.

And Bill ... 'splain the highlighted passages, please.

When I put up my post the story was time stamped 1:17 pm Oct 16 2007, and the lede was exactly what I paraphrased.

In fact, that lede is replicated in the end paragraph of this story. I'll see if I can find the original via cache. UPDATE: Google gives a LOUISVILLE KY dateline with the timestamp, but the cache goes to the article noted above.

There is another story on the site now, too. Since I see that stories change there without the link changing, I'll post the whole thing here.

McConnell knew staff told media to look at boy’s background

? RAW VIDEO: Hebert talks to McConnell

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell’s staff sent e-mails urging reporters to look into the background of a boy recruited by Democrats to support expansion of a children’s health-care program.

McConnell knew about the e-mails, even as he denied that his staff was involved in the matter.

The Kentucky Republican told a WHAS11's Mark Hebert last Friday that his staff had not been involved in trying to push reporters to look into the financial situation of the 12-year-old boy’s family.

But McConnell spokesman Don Stewart told The Courier-Journal of Louisville that he informed McConnell about the October eighth e-mails sometime around Thursday—the day before the television interview.

Stewart says he told the senator he sent follow-up e-mails within hours warning reporters off the story.

McConnell declined to comment on the matter last night and staff said today he wasn’t available for comment.

The initial e-mails sent by Stewart were aimed at alerting reporters that bloggers were raising questions about the boy, Graeme Frost of Baltimore, and his family’s financial circumstances.

Democrats recruited the boy to respond to President Bush’s September 29 radio address regarding the expanded State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

McConnell has opposed legislation expanding the program and Bush vetoed the measure. McConnell believes the measure goes beyond the program’s original intent and is a step toward government-run universal health care.

Graeme and his sister, Gemma, suffered severe injuries in a 2004 car crash and were beneficiaries of the insurance program.

Extremely interesting to note what in the first story was/is elided to make the digested one shorter, and what that does to the meaning of the first one.
