Scotty Lies Again About News Coverage Of Hurricane Katrina: New Orleans Dodged A Bullet

Scott McClellan is lying in his daily press conference. He lies again in claiming that everyone believed "New Orleans Dodged A Bullet." In fact, the only media outlet we could find with that headline was the far right religious website WorldNet Daily. Here's a link to the headlines Tuesday morning -- all of them say "Devastation!" and the like. Even Stars & Stripes -- the military paper -- spoke of the tremendous disaster. The levees broke Monday morning. It was announced Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. And as one reporter asked Scotty, "Does the President rely on news headlines?"

Someone -- it seems right up Tim Russert's alley -- do a mock-up of all the headlines and shove it in their faces and get them to respond to this lie. Also, just caught the tail-end of Scotty's dismissal of the Time magazine story about Brown's lie-packed resume. I can't understand why there weren't 50 questions about this (maybe I missed most of them) and demands for documentation to back up Brown's claims if he's simply going to insist everyone else is lying at Edmond local government, Central State University and the Independent Electrical Contractors.
