More spin than a Pakistani centrifuge

Brad DeLong links to a site that has painstakingly reviewed all the denials and attacks on Richard Clarke in the last few days. Brad likens it to a circular firing squad as the contradictions among the White House attack dogs are impressive in their scope.

I just hope they don't miss, but I fear the public is tuning out the specific charges (I think that's the WH strategy or whatever you'd call it), and just catching the overall din. The bald faced lies members of this administration tell on a daily basis, on every single policy or action, illustrate to me that they don't believe that when the lies are exposed enough voters care to matter.

For instance, Bush is now claiming that he did not underestimate the threat al Qaeda posed prior to the attacks, but in the weeks following the attacks he admitted something quite different (the fact that Bush or any member of his administration admitted a mistake is in itself a remarkable occurrence).
