WaPo To Daily Caller: We Stand By Our Story (Woman Paid To Make Sex Charges Against Sen. Menendez)

from TPM:


WaPo To Daily Caller: We Stand By Our Story

11:55 AM EST, Tuesday March 5, 2013

The Washington Post is standing by its story Tuesday that a woman in the Dominican Republic was paid to claim that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) had paid her for sex, Politico reported. The Daily Caller, which interviewed the woman in 2012 and reported the allegations against Menendez, on Tuesday accused the Post of not reaching out to them and said that the paper had interviewed a different woman than the one they originally spoke to.

The Post's story indicated that Daily Caller Editor Tucker Carlson did not respond to phone calls and emails requesting comment. Washington Post spokesperson Kris Coratti told Politico, "We stand by that and our reporting."

has always been a bottom feeding source of idiocy but it looks like they've decided to go all in nutzo and compete with World Net Daily and Human Events.

I can't wait for Tucker Carlson to announce the appointment of Chief Constitutional Scholar Orly Taitz.

An otherwise smart guy posts shit from the blaze and daily caller all the time. He is trying to defend this bullshit story. I'm having fun.
