GOP Senator McConnell Misleads Public About His Office's Role In Pushing Smear Of Graeme Frost
A couple hours ago Atrios linked to this report by local Kentucky station WHAS11 news. In it the station accused GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of misleading the network's reporter when McConnell told him on camera a few days ago that his office played no role whatsoever in pushing the smear of SCHIP posterkid Graeme Frost and his family.
As you all know, the news broke today that McConnell's communications director admitted in an interview with Kentucky's Courier-Journal that he'd initially alerted reporters to the smear campaign being waged by the winger bloggers against the Frosts. For all the background on this, go here.
