Pennsylvania Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D) has made news for both accidental honesty and ill-timed, transparent duplicity in the last couple weeks.

Now, in an attempt to control that damage and prevent further gaffes (which would cause damage to his apparently Keystone State-sized ego), Kanjorski is refusing to answer any questions about the statements that previously got him into trouble with the media, the voters, and his Congressional Democrat masters.

Video below [Note: Watch the female staffer's face when she realizes what "Charlie" is about to ask her boss.]:

Kanjorski begins the conversation by immediately telling the questioner, "You're not going to put words in my mouth" -- and then proceeds, from there, to deny, deny, deny and deny some more the contents of a (rough) transcript of Kanjorski's previously-videotaped statement that:

We really in this last election, when I say we...the Democrats, I think pushed it as far as we can to the end of the fleet, didn't say it, but we implied it.

That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn't true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts...and people ate it up."

Apparently being number two (or less) to Ex-Marine Jack Murtha can work wonders for a man's ego, as well as his self-assurance that he need never apologize to anybody for what he may have said or done.

Clearly, Mr. Kanjorski would rather we all forget his admission that Democrats used and abused the naive, trusting anti-war, Code Pink left in order to win back Congress -- as well as his braggadocios claim, after vocally and vigorously opposing the 2007 'surge' in Iraq, that he and Democrats actually forced President Bush into enacting that successful strategy.

Unfortunately for Rep. Kanjorski (D), we won't forget or ignore that.

And neither should the voters of Pennsylvania-11.
