There are plenty of ways to check a cite, including the one he gave
you.  This one simply requires a little less laziness on your part.

If he made this quote up, he not only spent hours crafting a very
realistic White House transcript of a television interview, but he has
spent the last several years convincing his confederates in the VRWC
to discuss this quote on Usenet and in web pages.  If you do a
rudimentary web or Deja search, you'll find it all over the place.

I watched it when it was originally aired.  I remember the quote well,
and i remember the heated discussions about same in the political
newsgroups.  Yours is the first denial of the quote's validity I've
ever seen.  Even the total wack-jobs on t.p.m. et al., such as the
self-proclaimed "weasels," admit that he said it.

He already did.
