The Political Chase

Vandehei’s Statement Incorrect

False alarm. Jim Vandehei misspoke last night (see here and here). The Washington Post corrected the statement this morning.

Lawrence, Kan.: Did Jim VandeHei misspeak on Hardball when he attributed Rove’s knowledge of Valerie Plame to Hadley?

Peter Baker: Thanks for the question. Jim informs me he did misspeak. He meant to say chatter between Rove and Libby, not Hadley. That’s the trick with television, it’s hard to correct. Appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight here.

Firedoglake has some commentary related to the error.
