"That is not what I read in the Washington Post, for example." er, OK, let's see what your beloved Wash Post had to say about the situation...says exactly what I stated earlier which is that the Bush party originally made a HUGE deal out of this, then when asked to substantiate, made out like they had more important business to take care of...can you say "smear campaign"?....now go ahead, spin, spin, spin! "the White House would be "cataloguing" the damage. Yesterday, it turned out that amounted to a single aide "who is really just keeping track in his head about things that may have taken place" -- not writing incidents down or assessing damage"...translation: the damage was so meaningless that ONE staffer now keeps track IN HIS HEAD! "Karen Tramontano, Clinton's chief of staff, said she called White House Chief of Staff Andrew W. Card Jr., to seek an explanation of what the Bush team had found. "I honestly believe that nothing like that happened, but if they have evidence someone should let us know," she said. Later, she reported that a Card deputy, Joseph Hagin, called back to cite a "copier cord cut, a phone line cut" but said these were "isolated incidents." Fleischer said Hagin had expressly cited more than one instance of cut cords, but agreed that "the story has become bigger than life."...translation: we ain't got nothin, but we've now put a real nasty taste in most Americans heads in and around the departing Clinton party. washingtonpost.com
