Bush’s Plame “Qualifier”

Posted by Eric at 4:57 pm. Filed under: General

Jeffrey King takes various news outlets to task for regurgitating the “Bush added a qualifier” line to their coverage of Bush’s comments regarding firing a leaker.

Today Bush said regarding the Plame controversy:

“if someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration.”

And this is somehow different than what he said on Sept. 30, 2003:

“And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of.”

So the MSM asserts he has “added the qualifier“, “shifted from a broad pledge“, “changed his stance“, “shift[ed] his standard“, and “rais[ed] the bar”.

Excellent points, Mr. King.
