Oh, lying liar who lies, Stephanie Cutter, is at it again. How do you know? Her sneering lips are moving.
As Twitchy reported yesterday, Matt Drudge teased a tape that was set to come out last night. And come out it did. As usual, the lapdogs in the media immediately began stomping their paws. Look away, nothing to see here, you wingnutty nuts with wings! Also, raaacist!111
Yet, Team Obama felt the need to frantically try to cut and run and pin the blame for President Obama’s own words and actions … on Mitt Romney. Who had nothing to do with the tape’s release.

Also, you know, he did not say the things on the tape. President Obama did, which has DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse in a tizzy.

Pres. Obama rep. on 2007 video release: Romney campaign should "say it was wrong." @StartingPtCNN w/ @Soledad_OBrien – http://t.co/O0YLCg0q
— Van Scott (@vanscottABC) October 3, 2012
On the video, Cutter says, “I think allies to Mitt Romney are responsible. And I think that the Romney campaign should stand up and do the right thing and say that it was irresponsible to do something like that, particularly on the eve of the debate.”
Romney “secret tape?” Worst thing in the entire world, ever. And Romney’s fault. Obama tape? Nothing to see, a distraction. And Romney’s fault. Perhaps Ms. Cutter and Mr. LaBolt should read Jake Tapper’s report at ABC, since they are clearly afraid to actually watch the tape.
And @jaketapper doesn’t go along with the rest of the Beltway Media’s attempt to blow this off as old news: http://t.co/kQA9HeR3 #kudosJake

Jake Tapper also reports that Ben LaBolt pulls the old “distraction” nonsense as well.
In response, the Obama campaign said the release of the clips are a “transparent attempt” by “Mitt Romney’s allies” to change the subject from the GOP nominee’s secretly recorded comments that 47 percent of voters are dependent and believe “they are victims.”
“The only thing shocking about this is that they apparently think it’s wrong to suggest that we should help returning veterans, children leaving foster care and other members of Mitt Romney’s 47 percent get training that will allow them to find the best available jobs. If the Romney campaign believes that Americans will accept these desperate attacks tomorrow night in place of specific plans for the middle class, it’s they who are in for a surprise,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a written statement.
Distraction? Desperation gambit? Those terms must be Newspeak for truth.

And there we go. Once again the lapdogs are enabling the ridiculous spin from Team Obama and are trying to make it all about Romney instead.
Shouldn't someone ask Stefanie Cutter just what it is about the Obama speech that makes her demand an apology from Romney for its airing?
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 3, 2012
Oh, our sides! A member of the press would have to put down his or her Team Obama pom-poms first. And then how would he or she make captain of the squad, silly? Soledad is certainly trying her hardest to make captain.
I had to turn off CNN this morning. @Soledad_OBrien is incredibly rude and condescending. She doesn't even attempt to be impartial.

@Soledad_OBrien Do you think your interview with Ms Cutter carried the same tone as the conversation you had with Romney's Rep? It did not.
— Ann Carvo (@annamae55) October 3, 2012
@annamae55 ms cutter and rep chafetz were very similar I thought.
— Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) October 3, 2012
Bless her heart! Soledad exposes her lapdoggery further in an exchange with Republican Barbara Comstock as well.
Even @CNN co-host, camera people were laughing at @Soledad_OBrien's unprofessional behavior towards @BarbaraComstock. No longer news agency.

Hmm. Why the blatant enabling by the press today?

Lapdogs don’t like getting caught burying bones in the backyard. This became even more obvious last night.
OBAMA? RT @TheFix: So, does Mitt Romney put out a statement on the Drudge vid? Does the RNC? Any major Republican figure?
— Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) October 3, 2012
That’s right. The first reaction of members of the media is to demand action from Romney. For things that President Obama did and said.
Revealing @TheFix wouldn't even CONSIDER asking POTUS about his own remarks. And they wonder why there is no trust.
— Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) October 3, 2012
@NathanWurtzel @TheFix Why the hell would Romney/the RNC feel the need to put out a statement? This is about the Media & its utter dishonor.
— Moe Lane (@moelane) October 3, 2012
Indeed. As for Stephanie Cutter, isn’t there a few things she’d like to denounce?
Stephanie #Cutter: please list all anti Romney videos you've denounced. It won't take 140 characters. No rules in this game. Haven't been.
— SwarnerGroup (@SwarnerGroup) October 3, 2012
Nope. She will just keep lying, over and over. And the media will let her.
