The White House's Press Secretary evidently couldn't fool the White House Press Corp today when he suggested that not only was the State Department not "buying" votes from Mexico and Columbia for a variety of trade and immigration issues, but that there was something wrong with the very idea...when we have spent well over $28 billion buying the assistance from Turkey for the coming war, and defense officials have been instructed to "punish" Germany for her intransigence over the Security Council vote.
Strangely, it could be conceived that the Press Corps finally grew a spine, and laughed poor Ari from the room. Check it out here at CSPAN. I'm sure the Republicans will have a different spin.
