Bush vs. Nixon... another glaring similarity!

We thought people would like this. An excerpt from a story today in the Washington Post concerning Bush's obvious lie over trailers and WMDs in Iraq:

"The reporting I saw this morning was simply reckless and it was irresponsible," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "The lead in The Washington Post left this impression for the reader that the president was saying something he knew at the time not to be true. That is absolutely false, and it is irresponsible."

Press Secretary Ronald Zeigler in 1974 would say the following after the Post reported that a Nixon aide was tied to campaign funds:

"The report I saw in the Washington Post this morning is incorrect, has been so stated as incorrect, not only by me but by the individual (Sloan) for the secret Grand Jury."

Campaign Manager for Nixon Clark MacGregor also said, "Using innuendo, third-person here-say and unsubstantiated facts, the Washington Post has engaged in malicious tactics... they have already shown their support for the other ticket."

Now then, Nixon resigned, right?

Yeah, we thought so too.
