Mealy-mouthed Excuse of the Day


Leave it to The Pantsuit to pull one of these lame excuses and play word games as to why she now has convicted criminal Sandy Berger as an adviser. It doesn't appear she pulled off that phony cackle like she did on the talking-head shows last Sunday.
"He has no official role in my campaign. He's been a friend for more than 30 years. But he doesn't have any official role," she insisted.

Asked if Berger had an "unofficial" role, Clinton told USA Today, "I have thousands of unofficial advisers . . . and, you know, I appreciate all of that. But he has no official role in my campaign."

Clinton, who traveled across Iowa yesterday touting her new economic plan, was on the defensive for the continuing connection to her old friend, former President Bill Clinton's national security adviser.
Among those "thousands" of unoffical advisers, how many are convicted criminals who were busted purloining National Archive document just before you husband testified before the 9/11 Commission?

Texas Senator John Cornyn had the understatement of the day.
"I think anyone who would surround themselves with advisers like that is demonstrating bad judgment, and I think Sen. Clinton should reconsider," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
