A picture named scotty.jpg
White House rewriting history

E&P has the story. For some reason the WH is trying to get people to change what Scotty actually said.

Here's the icon Download (hat tip Ian)

They want the transcripts to read: "I don’t think that’s accurate." It audio sounds a little odd, but I watched the video and Scotty does cut in on Gregory and said "that's accurate." I think McClellan was angered and tried to throw David off. What is point of this anyway? They have now drawn more negative attention to themselves. What's that saying: Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.

Wonkette has more about the story.

Think Progress follows up too.
