ANOTHER STORY COLLAPSES AS THE MEDIA GOES FULL EMILY LITELLA: Steve Scalise spoke to civic association meeting, not white nationalist conference, David Duke adviser Kenny Knight says. “Reports that Rep. Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, gave a speech to a white nationalist conference connected with David Duke in 2002 are not accurate, the man who organized the events said Wednesday (Dec. 31). Kenny Knight, a longtime political adviser to Duke, said Scalise spoke at a meeting of the Jefferson Heights Civic Association — not affiliated with the European-American Unity and Rights conference that was held in the same Metairie hotel — two-and-a-half hours before the white nationalist event started.”

Never mind.

UPDATE: Tweet of the week: “Every Republican is Todd Akin, but no Democrat is Anthony Weiner, Ted Kennedy, Bob Filner, or Bill Clinton.”
