GOP Ethics

The DNC responds to the Republicans portraying Howard Dean sporting a Hitler mustache:

A spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee has now slammed the Republican National Committee for posting on its web site a photo of Howard Dean that appeared to have been Photoshopped to make it look as if Dean were sporting a Hitler moustache.

"If it's true," DNC spokesperson Karen Finney tells us, "it's really disgraceful."

The inestimable watertiger exposed this bit of sleazyness yesterday.

Oh, and the RNC's explanation?

Did someone at the RNC Photoshop the Hitler moustache on to Dean? The RNC is refusing to discuss the episode. RNC officials have had most of today to answer TPM muckraker's request this morning that they explain or deny their role in this. I also called them for comment.

But thus far, the RNC has opted not to say a word about it.

Typical.
