Then why not bump an existing thread? have an answer to that? Don’t tell me you don’t know!
I’ll tell you. There is a class of thread starters here who consider it some kind of great achievement to start threads come hell or hail, and I would bet that they each keep a count of these great accomplishments like they are Nobel Prizes in Physics. Considering that this story must have been published by a 1,000 English language newspapers across the globe, we can expect as many as 990 more threads about this negligible event started by these fools.
Do you remember the days of the Drudge multiple posts? It became embarrassing when it became obvious that much of what Drudge got was stuff FR was talking about for weeks already.
But, in the race to be the supreme thread-starter, folks tend to ignore the concept that if it is something interesting to them (assuming them to be a real conservative) then it is likely already being discussed here, and a search might be in order.
Unless you are afraid that the time it takes to do a search will prevent you from being the first poster of this weeks-old story.
