Hey, it's been almost a year!!! Has Katie gotten back to us yet?!?!?
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 05:39 PM by KansDem
On the January 26 edition of NBC's Today, co-host Katie Couric chided Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Howard Dean for his accurate statement that "all these folks involved in getting money" from former lobbyist Jack Abramoff "are Republicans." Couric responded: "Hey, wait a second. Democrats took money ... from Jack Abramoff, too, Mr. Dean." In fact, while Democrats received money from the clients and associates of the well-connected Abramoff, no evidence exists to suggest that they have received contributions from Abramoff directly.

********

COURIC: Hey, wait a second. Democrats took money -- Democrats took money from Jack Abramoff, too, Mr. Dean.

DEAN: That is absolutely false. That did not happen. Not one dime of money from Jack Abramoff went to any Repub -- Democrat at any time.

COURIC: According -- let me just tell you. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Abramoff and his associates gave $3 million to Republican and one -- Republicans -- and $1.5 million to Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid . So, this --

DEAN: Katie, not one -- not one dime. Not one dime of Jack Abramoff money ever went to any Democrat. We can show you the FEC reports, we'd be very happy to do it. There is a lot of stuff in the press that the Republican National Committee has been spinning that this is a bipartisan scandal. It is a Republican-financed scandal. Not one dime of money from Jack Abramoff ever went to any Democrat. Not one dime.

COURIC: Well, we will obviously have to look into that and clarify that for our viewers at a -- at a later date.

Has Katie clarified this for us? Did she do it and I missed it? What's up with this? Has the successor to Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite gotten back to us yet?
