Arlen Specter: Shit, did I really say that out loud?

Arlen Specter on Wednesday:

"The Republican expected to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee next year bluntly warned newly re-elected President Bush on Wednesday against putting forth Supreme Court nominees who would seek to overturn abortion rights or are otherwise too conservative to win confirmation."

Arlen Specter on Thursday:

“Contrary to press accounts, I did not warn the President about anything and was very respectful of his Constitutional authority on the appointment of federal judges."

So I guess CNN just made all that shit up, did they? Figures.
