Ah yes... point #2 of my post rollin' in like an Oklahoma thunderstorm. (personal attacks and way off topic content (Cooper and anti-Obama stances vs. issues & claims on 1991, are you kidding me?)
Actually, Lanny Davis's reputation as a "spinner" is very much an issue here. He's quoted in the city's TruthSquid press release as saying that the professional staff of the Coastal Commission is lying to the legislature. Is he a straight shooter? We need to know.
Now take a look of those videos at TPM of Lanny defending the indefensible on behalf of Senator Clinton. You can tell everyone in the room is thinking, "Oh, Lanny, there he goes again!"
Or, take a look at this piece he wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion section (!) to smear Ned Lamont's supporters in the campaign against Joe Lieberman with anti-Semitism:

Clean, and claim-by-claim... and no need for the Jules Verne mockery.
