Al Gore, Al The Time

May 23, 2007 at 8:42 am

Best response to Al Gore’s book?  Tony Snow:

Unfortunately, the former Vice President probably has been listening to people who have deliberately misled him. The President has made it clear over and over and over that there was no relationship between Saddam Hussein and September 11th. And again, from my own personal experience, when we would go on the day of the State of the Union address — the State of the Union address in 2002 I guess, or 2003, the question arose, “Do you think that Saddam is linked to September 11th?” The President said, no, we have no intelligence to link Saddam directly to September 11th. So he has never tried to make that tie.

And what the Vice President is doing — it’s been tried by a lot of other people — which is to take something the President hasn’t said, expose it as a “lie” and then beat him up for it. The President told the truth. So I don’t know — I don’t know if they’re going to do a reprinting of the book to try to get the facts straight; fact checkers may have to take a look at it. These are highly complex publishing issues, and I can’t be an expert on them.

    What’s this exchange all about?

    Q Any luck on finding out about the President’s policy on wearing seatbelts?

    MR. SNOW: Well, it’s always important to wear seatbelts, especially when driving slowly on the ranch. (Laughter.) But I think it’s, in point of fact, something that — we encourage everybody to wear their seat belts.

    Q — Secret Service person here at the White House ask the President and all occupants –

    MR. SNOW: No, but I’ll tell you what — the Secret Service, I guarantee you, looks after the President and is absolutely determined to ensure his safety in every way possible.
