Fran Townsend has been peddling an alternate reality version of how Eric Holder came to OK the Marc Rich pardon.
Holder "got a last-minute phone call" from the Clinton White House to vet Rich, Townsend told CNN, where she is a contributor.
"He was put in a horrible position," Townsend said, adding that Holder was being criticized unfairly in the Rich matter.
The charitable view is that Ms. Townsend's imagination has won some battle with her memory. The less charitable view is that her years in the Bush White House have caused her to adopt one of their more famous mottos, "Reality? We don't need no stinkin' reality, we make our own reality!"
