Yesterday afternoon I pointed out that, in his letter to Tim Noah, Wlady Pleszczynski never actually denied that Ted Olson had been involved in the Arkansas Project.

He denied this, that, and the other. But not the actual point at issue.

Well, now Pleszczynski has written to Talking Points to do just that. But these sorts of brouhahas inevitably descend to parsing. So, instead of characterizing it, let me just show you exactly what he said and you can draw your own conclusions:

Josh: So when did you stop beating your wife/ significant other /or whatever? That's the category your complaint falls under. But if it makes your evening, let me categorically say that Ted Olson was not a part of the Arkansas Project. Every word of Olson's statements regarding the project has been more than truthful.

Best regards,

Wlady Pleszczynski

More soon.
