How long beforethis Pony Blow statement is proven to be a lie? I’d say weeks, not months.

MR. SNOW: To begin, some non-election related news out of Iraq. First, there were stories yesterday that Zal Khalilzad would be leaving as ambassador after the elections. Not true. No imminent plans for departure. The President is glad Zal is an effective ambassador.

Consider yourself officially on the shit list, Charlie Crist.

Q — hear from Charlie Crist at all yesterday?

MR. SNOW: No.

Q Did anyone from his campaign reach out?

MR. SNOW: Don’t know.
