On a conference call with reporters Monday, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reports that he had not seen the photo, that “I’m not aware that anyone in this campaign circulated it — I don’t imagine that you have any independent reporting to suggest that we did.”

Late Monday, the campaign sent out a memo in which Wolfson said he had not been aware of the release of the photo, and that it had not been sanctioned by the campaign — but added that “We have over 700 people on this campaign and I’m not in a position to know what each one of them may or may not have done.”

A Retraction?
Earlier today McCain said that to win the presidential race he must convince Americans that staying the course in the war is working. If he can’t do that, he said, “then I lose. I lose.”

And moments later…

“If I may, I’d like to retract ‘I’ll lose.’”

Straight-talk!

I call that the crooked talk trainwreck.

From Howard Dean:

“McCain is now breaking the law by ignoring the campaign spending restrictions for the Republican primary that came when he asked for federal matching funds — funds he used as collateral on a loan that helped keep his campaign going.

But now that the lobbyist and special interest money has started pouring into his campaign, he’s trying to back out of the promise he made just a few months ago. They’re feeding so much cash into his bank account, this “reformer” wants nothing to do with federal campaign finance laws anymore.

That’s why today, we’re filing a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission demanding that John McCain be held to the campaign finance laws. Trying to back out shows a total lack of integrity and honesty — he made a deal with the American people to to abide by the law, and in return, he was guaranteed taxpayer money that he used to back a loan.”

And I found the MO from one of his proir posts HERE.

Funny how he’s ragging on Smith on the last one….

That my friends is the definition of a true patriot.
