1. So where is the MSM at on this story now that it's really a story?

Not a word. Not so much as a wimper.

[dgibby]

10. CNN/Rick Sanchez discussed her on his program today.

He's still on, but has moved on to another story.

[Tribetime]

13. at least he said they would continue to follow it

[Curtland1015]

2. Wait, I'm confused... didn't we already know this?

:shrug:

[yardwork]

7. Her employment status was in some news reports, but not all, and the McCain camp lied.

The McCain people kept saying that she was a volunteer, even thought early news reports had identified her as a paid employee of the College Republicans.

[gmoney]

3. didn't we know that from the start?

[AlCzervik]

4. no, the McCain camp stressed she was a "Volunteer and not a paid worker"

[PatSeg]

9. In McCain World,

"volunteer" means "paid worker". There was a video up where the so-called "volunteers" were actually paid, many from temp agencies.

5. Is that something like a community organizer?

'only with real responsiblities'? :sarcasm:

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. I thought we confirmed it here first

Not only that there is no proof she was at the ATM machine
either, she went to her handler, got something to eat, he took her picture
and then called the police. Why not apply the makeup there at the same time
when she was there?

12. I think they sent it to Drudge before notifying the PPD.

Drudge was also where the MSM picked up the story. Local stations stated they got it from Drudge.

8. Plus, she had already been asked to leave the Ron Paul campaign and claimed to

have had her tires slashed or some such shit back then...
The Repubs have totally given up on vetting anyone at this point apparently. :eyes:

Are you a RABID NUTJOB? Great! You're hired!!!

[badgerpup]

14. She was indeed fired from the Ron Paul campaign.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08299/922849-53.stm/

She apparently called up Huckabee's offices, pretending to be one of their people in order to learn their campaign strategies etc.

Ron Paul's people didn't want to play by Karl Rove's playbook, so they severed all connection with her.

channeling the Baroness von Munchausen if you ask me...

"OH! OH! WOE IS ME! I WAS ATTACKED FOR ____________ (fill in the blank here, but it has to be a 'cause' or 'beliefs' or 'values'. Rape might be involved as well, but is never the primary motivation :eyes: ) I'M A MARTYR! I'M A VICTIM! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! or I'll escalate this until I find something that works!"

I lived with a Baroness for a while...scared the shit out of me and our other housemates with stories of repeated 'break-ins' and attacks that happened while we weren't at home...and she refused to call cops or file charges because it was a member of her family that was doing this.
:scared::banghead:
Our home was not safe and there was NOTHING we could do to change this until we caught the 'attacker' in the act and could call the cops on this person ourselves.

I REALLY resent being jerked around like this. I don't have a lot of sympathy for this kind of behavior.
I hope she gets help...but I don't have a lot of sympathy.

[goodgd_yall]

11. The MSM needs to spend the time on this it deserves

This is poison to the McCain campaign.

[demigoddess]

15. Of course, she is a republican!!! If they can't win they cheat, and if they can't cheat

they try these stupid disgusting tactics. Shows you what they live for.
