Tell Us Sweet Little Lies

Don "Gucky" Gonyea on NPR this morning:

GONYEA: It is a good question. Late in the morning, a lot of reporters got calls from a confidential but persuasive source about Judge Clement. She was so widely rumored yesterday morning that the president, when he had a joint appearance with the prime minister of Australia, was asked about her. He gave a `no comment.' But she might have been a decoy to keep the media away from Judge Roberts for the day. But it's certainly something that we'll have to explore further.


Well, since this confidential but persuasive source fed you a bunch of horseshit in order to let the administration control the nomination spin don't you feel an obligation to inform your listeners who this liar was?

Haha, just kidding, I'd know you'd never burn a source, even one which used you to deceive the public. That would be a betrayal of those in power, and we can't have that.

Of course, Gucky Gonyea wasn't done, he continued with:

GONYEA: Dan Bartlett says the president picked the most qualified of those names before him. He said the finalists had--was a diverse group. They were a diverse group. They were women, they were minority candidates, names that he declined to provide yesterday. But, again, he says that that final group was representative of America.
