   None.  He's probably referring to this:   
      
       You'll notice that in his column, Rich [Lowry] accuses me of   
       a grand total of two lies. First, that I described him as   
       "terrified" during our initial phone call. Believe me, he was.   
       Rich says that's impossible because we were being "jocular."   
       Thing is, it's actually possible to joke while you're terrified.   
       In fact, that was the entire basis for centuries of Jewish humor.   
      
       The second lie is that I claimed that Rich had stopped talking   
       about Democrats feminizing politics after our encounter on the   
       phone. But, in fact, I wrote that I just *thought* he had, and   
       even held out the possibility that Rich had indeed continued   
       that nonsense. Still I could have assigned one of my research   
       assistants to Nexis all of Rich's articles, and for that I   
       apologize. We were busy trying to confirm that Iraq had   
       attempted to buy uranium from Niger.
