Wow, can you feel the love! ...

My last post before I hit the light switch and get some sleep as we have a campus to tour tomorrow.

I asked a question about the "GOP" talking points memo. The original "gotcha" histrionics from ABC and Mike Allen from Wapo, whose original newswire was repeated all over that "In a memo distributed only to Republican senators, the Schiavo case was characterized as "a great political issue"... were so over the top as to create reasonable suspicion about the "memo."

Guess it hasn't been enough that since it was revealed by freshman Senator Martinez himself that the "memo" was created by a staffer who has been summarily terminated and that many of the blogs that were reporting on the issue have posted these updates (ie Powerline here and here and LGF) ... the usual suspects are sending out vicious emails to Powerline and Michelle Malkin. I highly recommend you read Michelle's post because she writes a spectacular summary of the whole affair that is not over yet. Several questions remain, especially of why Mike Allen wrote the way he did and why Democrat Tom Harkin, who is the only "Senate leader" to see the memo, didn't say anything at the time but waited two and a half weeks ... or did he?

As Mickey Kraus says Non-fake but inaccurate!
