White House Tries To Distance Itself From Harry Reid And Nancy Pelosi

Tar babies.

"Yeah, I would refer you to Senator Reid. I can't -- only Senator Reid knows his source, which he has discussed. And I would refer you to that," Carney responded.

"Nancy Pelosi today said, 'Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him it is a fact.' Do you agree with that rationale?" Henry pressed Carney.

"I haven't seen that statement," Carney claimed. "Again, I would refer you to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid."

"Harry Reid says he hasn't paid taxes in 10 years and that's just a fact?" Henry asked.
