Well, I've seen three threads on this pulled today. I wonder if yours will last…. Seriously, though, this is pretty much rumor-mongering, don't you think?

I knew there’s a risk it would get pulled. But, once the story (lame as it is) is on the blogs, it will eventually spill onto the networks (my bet is Olberman will be the first to report it) then once its uttered there it’s officially a story (“Keith Olberman of MSNBC today confirmed the rumor…”) and then the NY and LA Times are free to discuss it.

I just figured we could skip all those steps and mock the lameness of the left right from the git-go.

They’re copying the VRWC model, but we were actually targeting powerful politicians as corrupt and/or traitorous felons. They’re targeting another blogger as potentially gay and a White House spokesman as possibly tolerant of gays.

It's a little sad and a little funny.

I suppose you're right. I think the other posts were trolls, though, since there was no comment on them by the poster. It looks like yours will stick.
