OK, a couple of points:

a)  When you get hit in such a public event, trying to deny and keep out of the 
news is really, really stupid.  It just makes you look worse when (inevitably) you 
get found out.

b)  Gee, those disclosure laws work really well, don't they?  (Excuse me, I have to 
go to the orthodontist to get the tongue pulled out of my cheek.)
