This is a Pattern (3.00 / 2)

Mel Martinez has used this excuse before.

During his Senate primary, his campaign attacked conservative former congressman Bill McCollum as being pro-gay because he voted for the hate crimes legislation, and they "outed" a McCollum staffer.  Martinez said his staff did the attack and that he knew nothing about it.

During the general election campaign produced ads against Betty Castor calling her a terrorist because of an issue that happened while she was at USF.  Again he said that his staff produce the ads and that he knew nothing about it.

Now is passing around memos that he supposedly knew nothing about??  Please.  

This guy is liar.

The real villians of the piece (none / 0)

are of course the people of Florida, who voted for Mel Martinez. Any word on when that might change?

Either lying or stupid. (none / 0)

According to E&P:

Martinez, in his statement, said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, had asked for background information on the bill ordering a federal court to review the Schiavo case.

He said he pulled a one-page document from his coat pocket and handed to Harkin. "Unbeknownst to me ... I had given him a copy of the now infamous memo."

What? He wanted information on the bill, so you just reached into your pocket and pulled out . . . what, a random piece of paper? Darling planted it on you? Or do you keep a literature rack in there, that somebody else stocks?

Senator Martinez is either a bad liar or a total idiot. Or both.

Are we safer yet?
