Retraction

I was a little concerned about one of the statements I made in the previous post, so I decided to do some research to see if I could verify it. Unfortunatly I cannot back up the statement “many other Republican politicians have come forward with legitimate, serious and timely questions about our nation’s war effort in Iraq.”
The staff* and I have poured through our records, done a few exhaustive searches of both the internet and Lexis, but could find no substantive basis for that claim. This doesn’t mean nothing like that ever happened, just that nobody ever wrote it down, recorded it or said it on a television show with a published transcription. As you may have guessed, the problem stems from my use of the qualifiers “legitimate, serious and timely.” I deeply regret my error and apologize for any agony this may have caused your delicate hearts and minds.
*My reference to having a staff is no longer operative. I’ve searched through my records and I can find no record of their existence. I apologize for the confusion.
