Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL)
reveals that he didn’t know — and didn’t care — if the Pelosi plane story was true. Putnam claimed he pushed the story because it was the first break “from the media in driving our message.” A message which happened to be completely false.

So what’s the problem? Rep Putnam must be related to George Putnam, the original Right Wing Wacko, late of KTLA, where he spewed his reactionary nonsense for years.
February 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pmIt doesn’t matter to these assclowns if something is true or false, only if it bolsters their bizarro world view.
Typical political hatchet boy.
What do you expect from a party that looks to Ann C*u*ter and Oxy Limpdick as political leaders.

February 20th, 2007 at 3:48 pmAll GOPers in DC are certified pathological liars!
February 20th, 2007 at 4:00 pmSo Nancy, libel suit? If this guy goes to jail, it would be sweet!
February 20th, 2007 at 4:03 pmThat’s the worst sort of depravity.
Rot in hell, Putnam.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:03 pm…it was the first break “from the media in driving our message.â€
What message was that, Putznam? That the GOP is the world’s largest pack of liars? Message received.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:04 pmNothing is too low for Republicans. And I’m sure he considers himself to be a “good Christian” too. Karma has a special reward for people of that ilk.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:05 pmTelling the truth never mattered to these bastards and they have been using this lame “excuse” pretty often lately.
Remember Rush Limbaugh saying how he had carried water for people that didn’t deserve it, Then he backpedaled and denied he had lied to his listeners by sayingm, “BUT, IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THE CAUSE.”
There was another story that made Pelosi sound like she was giving free abortions herself. When the author of that bullshit was confronted she said, “we have to use every measure to get our message out.”
These people are dishonest and have no honor. They can take all the pride they want in their lies.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:08 pmThe “it’s all a game, all the time” party. Heckuva job, Republican’ts!
February 20th, 2007 at 4:09 pmHe has no honor. Pelosi should make an example out of him and have him censured.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:10 pmHe’s from Florida. Sorry to any good folks in Florida.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:22 pmThe Party of smear and fear.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:34 pmWow, he just opened himself up to slander suit by Pelosi. He just showed that malice lay at the core of his decision to slander her. Even public personages can bring a suit on that basis.
February 20th, 2007 at 4:54 pmA tour in Iraq for his punk ass would educate him on the value of truth.
February 20th, 2007 at 5:42 pmSchmedlap; I second that motion!!!
February 20th, 2007 at 6:47 pmWhat do you expect from a repugnant-repub who doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground, doesn’t CARE if a story is true or false as long as he can use it to further his own political agenda of rightwingnut demagoguery and lies–what do you expect from a creep whose name Adam Putnam can also spell out “Am Damn Puta,” or ” I AM A CURSED BITCH-WHORE!” That’s Putnam to a “P”, all right!!!!!
February 20th, 2007 at 6:51 pmThe only good thing which can be said about Putnam after this little confession is that at least he has the cojones to actually admit that all he really cares about is furthering the interests of his own party and fighting the opposing party, regardless of the truth or the facts or the consequences to the American people.
February 20th, 2007 at 8:54 pmPutnam is proof positive…
…that…
…PROSECUTION of these Repulsivescum…
…is paramount…
…in preserving the republic…
February 20th, 2007 at 9:09 pmTrolls? Anything to say about this?
Oh, that’s right. The truth doesn’t matter one whit to the trolls, either, so this story is a non-starter for them.
February 20th, 2007 at 9:25 pmI agree that Putnam should be charged for libel against Pelosi. We need to keep the pressure on this young GOP punk. Did anyone else hear his fiery obnoxious comments during the HR Debate on the Iraq War Resolution?
Putnam is the GOP’s new fair-haired boy and now we know he’s as corrupt as the rest, at the age of 32. Yes–a tour of duty in Baghdad leading the “surge” he supports so vehemently will do him good.
February 20th, 2007 at 11:48 pmThis guy was Keith O’s ‘Worst person in the World’ tonight.
February 21st, 2007 at 12:50 amThat happens many times after the same story (hours earlier) appear on T.P..
I’m convinced Keith reads this blog.
