But Podesta never said Rove has NO WAY been exonerated. Podesta did not say Mehlman had lied and that Wilson was right and has been proven right. Podesta did not call Mehlman on saying the Dems are smearing Rove. Podesta did not remind Mehlman that smearing and rushing to judgment is a Repug default position.
Podesta was polite and I admire that. But he should have politely countered each and every Mehlman lie and that he did not do.
Mehlman was a bully and ran the show, as always.
We don't need to be bullies, we do NOT need to lie and do dirty tricks. We need to be smart and call the Repugs everytime they do a fast shuffle and fudge facts. And we need to do it at the time they tell the lie, not days and weeks afterward.
Biden would have put Mehlman in his place. And God knows, I do not want Biden as my President, but he has facts at his fingertips and he loves a good contest. Podesta was not a good sparring partner...not his fault...he just doesn't doesn't respond with the old one-two!
