Fred Barnes Apologizes; Says Wallace Wasn't Clothes Culprit

28 Oct 2008 07:55 pm

Weekly Standard editor and Fox News contributor Fred Barnes apologized on tonight's broadcast to McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace for, in turns out, falsely blaming her for the RNC's $150,000 clothing expenditure.

BARNES: I was rough on Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign who was identified as the one responsible for getting the expensive clothes for Sarah Palin and being cowardly and not admitting she was the one. well, it turns out i was wrong, i discovered. i apologize for my
mistake and apologize particularly to Nicole Wallace.

Who misinformed Barnes?

Was it deliberate?
