Begala on today’s Crossfire:

I want to come back to this question of credibility, because I think that’s what this is all about and that why it’s important that Dr. Rice be under oath. And I think we agree about that.

Yesterday, the White House spokesman complained that the last time Dr. Rice met with the commission, only five commission members showed up, suggesting maybe they weren’t very interested in her testimony when it wasn’t in public. What he failed to say is that the White House insisted that no more than three show up. That’s a breathtaking lie.

This lie was passed on more than one Sunday morning show as well… seems like a White House sanctioned talking point.
