Spectre Knows All

Brad DeLong quotes Keith quoting the Washington Post Quoting Arlen Specter.

“Judge Alito’s name never appeared in any document,” Specter said. It was not mentioned in any letters to or from the group’s founder or executive director, did not appear on any canceled checks for subscriptions, was nowhere to be found on any articles, lists of board members or contributors, and was not in any minutes or attendance records from CAP meetings,” Specter said.

He quoted CAP founder William Rusher as saying: “I have no recollection of Samuel Alito at all. He certainly was not very heavily involved in CAP, if at all.”

That would be the same Senator Specter who claimed that the had never received Senator Kennedy's letter requesting that he request the records ? The one whose office had sent a reply to the letter refusing to request the records ?

If this guy is not familiar with (or lying about) the letters he recently received from the ranking member of his committee why should anyone give any credence whatever to what he claims he did or did not read ?

Further how dare he ask anyone to trust both his reading comprehension and his integrity when yesterday he demonstrated a total complete utter lack of one or the other concerning exactly the issue of CAP records ?

Weirdness within weirdness. How can anyone pretend to take seriously the instant review of voluminus records by someone who forcefully claimed on TV that he had not received a letter to which his office had replied ?

Recall the reply was a refusal to request the records. Specter agreed to request them during lunch break Wednesday. How can he know what they do not contain by Thursday ? What kind of idiots does he think the American people are ?
