Jedediah Tucker Ward: It’s not hypothetical to Dr. Pavel, he wrote it

Michael Grazier: So he says.

Jedediah Tucker Ward: So he says under oath

Class Action 1991

PM James Hacker: (On Phone): No, no, leave me out of it. A routine visit. (Listening) All right – a routine surprise visit. (Listening) Well, say they were invited earlier, but the NATO exercise got in the way. Now they’re not needed, they’re going anyway. (Listening) All right. Nobody knows it’s not true. Press statements aren’t delivered under oath.

Yes Prime Minister A victor for Democracy 1986

Yesterday the White House apparently learning nothing from the precedent of sending Susan Rice on every cable network decided to send Dan Pfeiffer to every single Sunday Show State of the Union on CNN, Face the Nation on CBS, This week on NBC, Fox News Sunday and Meet the Press on NBC.

Pfeiffer’s line was pretty much the same all over, Fox & CBS gave him the hardest time, Not surprisingly David Gregory on NBC gave him the easiest time but hard or easy the story was essentially the same. Nothing to see here, of course the IRS stuff was wrong, Republicans lying on Benghazi blah blah blah …

There is a lot of talk online about what was said as Jazz Shaw put it:

Man, I wouldn’t want to be Dan Pfeiffer today. That’s got to be a really ugly job and leave him with ashes in his mouth pedaling this crap.

I disagree, in this economy plenty of people would love to get Pfeiffer or Jay Carney’s paycheck to say what they’ve been told to say for Obama but what they say means nothing for one simple reason.

Not a word of it was under oath.

Until Dan Pfeiffer statements are made under oath vs on sunday shows they should be ignored #tcot #p2 @thisweekabc @mtp @facethenation @cnn

Susan Rice, Jay Carney, Dan Pfeiffer et/al can say all they want to the press to the media and to the American people but it’s all about propaganda and frankly not worth the time to bother to make fun of it.

But if administration in general & Dan Pfeiffer in particular want me to take him seriously there is a simple way to do it:

Question for @pfeiffer44 Dan, Pfeiffer Will you agree to repeat your Sun show answers under oath before House committees? #tcot #p2 #irs

There is a huge difference between risking the scorn of reporters, republicans and advocates on twitter and risking jail time for perjury by testifying falsely before congress.

I suspect there are going to be many weeks of hearing on this scandal with people from the Cincinnati office, the White House and many more people going before the house under oath. I’m sure the congress would be happy to save a spot for Mr. Pfeiffer if he is willing to make the time.

What will it be?

Update: I should have also mentioned the Test for the media that I blogged before. Bob Schieffer passed it:

Bob Schieffer was born in 1937, he was working for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the day JFK was shot, and he’s not likely to be impressed by a 37-year-old “senior advisor.” And when it came to Benghazi, Schieffer didn’t let Pfeiffer bulldoze him:

The bottom line is what [Susan Rice] told the American people [Sept. 16] bore no resemblance to what had happened on the ground in an incident where four Americans were killed. . . .
[T]hat was just PR, that was just a PR plan to send out somebody who didn’t know anything about what had happened. Why did you do that? Why didn’t the Secretary of State come and tell us what they knew and if you knew nothing say we don’t know yet? Why didn’t White House Chief of Staff come out? I mean I would, and I mean this is no disrespect to you, why are you here today? Why isn’t the White House Chief of Staff here to tell us what happened?

At his age Pfeiffer might not mind selling his credibility for his higher-ups, it might even be a good career move long-term but Schieffer is 76 years old and his credibility is the most valuable asset he has.
