"Leak 2" on Drudge. Ugh...why did I go there...
http://www.kobtv.com/html/20353.html

So I went to Drudge to see if I was right and he would be giving the flashing red light treatment to Hillary's Alfred E. Neumman comment. I was wrong about that but what I did see was him linking to the article above. He had "Leak 1" above the Rove story and "Leak 2" above the Richardson story regarding Wen Ho Lee. Get ready for this to be the new talking point and "equal time" bullshit.

This is what is done every time. This story will be given equal footing in the name of "fairness" and what it will do is give the mindless Bushbots a way to justify their stupidity and it will give those people in the middle who hate "partisan politics" to say "well, both sides do this stuff."

1. But the Wen Ho Lee story was crap on a cracker.

3. Do you honestly think that matters to them?
They are mindless idiots.

And do you think it matters to the press? They'll get bullied again into treating the story as somehow equal when they are clearly not. You can bet every right wing talking head and their right wing guests are prepping their background knowledge of this case as we speak.

4. It's not a matter of the prosecutor...
It's a matter of the media and how they spin it and whether what should be a monumental scandal becomes just another story.

6. If Rove or other Admin officials...
...are charged, tried, and convicted then I don't care one whit what the media or the public make of it. All that's of concern at that point is the length of the sentence.

8. y'know how in the movies the good guys are escaping from the monster
and they throw everything at it to impede its progress--chairs, desks, garbage cans, dead bodies. It is all just knocked aside like boxes of cornflakes or styrofoam boulders.

Nothing stops the monster, because it is just too big and powerful and real.

Tossed trash. That's all this Richardson story is. But it will not stop the monster. They made the monster themselves, and it is coming to get them, and there is nothing they can do to stop it because the monster IS them--it is who they are. Twisted and evil and ravenous.
