This is a combination monday/tuesday choice, but it's a no brainer. The
credibility gap is simple: Scott McClellan
yesterday said this:
Q Are you denying -- are you denying that he was kidnapped?
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, I just said it's complete nonsense. (Laughter.)
Q Why don't you just say it didn't -- it's not true?
MR. McCLELLAN: I think I just did. I just said it's complete nonsense.
The trouble when Scott says something is "nonsense", the reporters realize he is refusing to deny it. You can only cry wolf so many times before people stop believing you, and since he's claimed other times that things are "nonsense" instead of untrue, he's lost credibility with the media and the American people.
Of course, Aristide has now
publically said he was kidnapped by the United States. So Scott has egg on his face. And he's not wiping it off well..
