John Walsh Can't Keep His Own Story Straight

The Montana Republican Party issued the following statement today:

This morning, while defending his recent appointment on KBZK's Montana
this Morning, John Walsh said:

"I talked to Governor Bullock the day Senator Baucus was announced
that he was going to be appointed to the position of ambassador,
that's when I went to Governor Bullock and told him that I was
interested in the position. And it was the night before we made the
announcement that Governor Bullock told me that I was selected. We
hadn't had any conversations up to that point."

Interesting. It seems that Walsh can't keep his own story straight.

On December 20, the day Baucus was formally nominated, Walsh told the
Associated Press that "I have not thought about that and will not
speculate what Gov. Bullock is going to do."

But today, in an interview, Walsh said that he "talked to Governor
Bullock the day Senator Baucus was announced" and, on that same day,
"told him that I was interested in the position."

But that's not the only part of Walsh's many, varied stories that don't line up.

Today, Walsh also maintained that after telling Bullock of his
interest in the appointment on December 20, Bullock and Walsh "hadn't
had any conversations" about the appointment until the night before
Walsh was formally appointed as Baucus' replacement.

But during a January 27 interview with POLITICO, Walsh maintained that
he'd had a "couple conversations" with Bullock about the Senate
appointment and, again, told Bullock, "I'm interested in the
position."

So, by Walsh's own accounts, he hadn't thought about the Senate
appointment on the same day that he asked Bullock for the appointment.

And according to Walsh, while he had several conversations with
Bullock about the appointment, they didn't actually talk about the
appointment until Walsh was informed that he'd be appointed.

This is getting a little embarrassing for John Walsh.

If John Walsh, Steve Bullock and Harry Reid continue to insist on
misleading Montanans and distorting the truth, they should at least
get their story straight and stick with it.

Between Walsh's habit of going off message and the growing paper trail
from Governor Bullock's office, it's only a matter of time before
Montanans know the real story about the Big Sky Buy Off.
