WHAS has responded to Mitch McConnell’s blatant lie on Friday, as he told Mark Herbert that no one in his office spread the false smear on 12-yr old Graeme Frost’s family. Expect much more from this on Mark Herbert’s 5:00 report.
Did McConnell mislead public?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It appears Senator Mitch McConnell may have misled WHAS11 News when he told us nobody on his staff had anything to do with an effort to dig into the background of a 12-year-old boy.
An aide to McConnell has admitted he sent an e-mail to Washington reporters, urging them to look into Graeme Frost, the boy who urged Congress to override the president’s veto of an expanded child health care bill. He’s been a target of conservative bloggers ever since.McConnell’s aide, Don Stewart, says he told the senator about his role in the controversy on Thursday.
WHAS11’s Mark Hebert asked the senator about it on Friday.
“There was no involvement,” McConnell said. “None.”
Stewart says there was no effort to slime the 12-year-old, as Democrats allege.
McConnell’s aide says he sent a follow up e-mail to reporters, telling them “there was no story.”

Don’t ya just love it when a politician is trapped in his\her own words, with a sound clip to prove it!
Wow! Hey, people, hold on to that one, it will be very valuable in due time. I firmly believe, if the D’s can come together and support a candidate that is clean, then Mitch will go down.
However, if the D;s throw support behind a D that has considerable baggage, then Mitch will take that baggage, make into chicken soup, and attack. And, that is the way he beats cha.
Don’t forget now, those old HOUNDS are still alive and ready. Isn’t it best to cover your trail , BEFORE THE HUNT?
SURE IT IS!
I just wanna say!
