Tonight, after Air Force One had departed, White House officials issued a statement in Mr. Fleischer's name that made clear that they no longer stood behind Mr. Bush's statement.

reader space reminds us:

Democrats need to remember that the House Judiciary committee voted to send an article of impeachment to the house floor based solely on Clinton's alleged refusal to completely answer questions posed by the committee.
Now, Bush can fake factually bogus statements to Congress in his State of the Union speech with impunity.
In other words, an alleged failure to be completely forthcoming to Congress has apparently moved from an impeachable offense to trifiling "error" in a few short years. I suppose this is what Bush meant when he said he wanted to "change the tone" in Washington.
