The White House's bid to distance itself from comments by long-time Democratic advisor Hilary Rosen dissing Mitt Romney's wife Ann are entering the silly zone.

White House visitor logs show that "Hilary Rosen" has visited the White House 35 times, a ton of visits for a strategist. Simple enough, right? 

Not. When White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked at today's press briefing about the visits, he suggested that maybe all the visits "Hilary Rosen" made were not by THE Hilary Rosen.

"I know three, personally, women named Hilary Rosen. So I'm not sure that those represent the person we're talking about necessarily," he said, adding that the hasn't viewed the visitor logs.

Rosen raised eyebrows when she said of Romney: "Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life."
