Matthews: I think [Vice President] Cheney had his thumb on the scale, do you agree? That they were pushing this war so hard, they were working to look at any evidence that backed the war and ignore any evidence that didn’t back the war.Paul Kiel: "Does anybody else find this to be a stunning admission from the Republicans' #2 in the Senate?" Yes.
Lott: They were pushing the evidence that justified going to the war, a lot of us, Republicans and Democrats, were concerned about what we were told, and we bought the packet.
The content, of course, isn't stunning at all—but the admission certainly is.
