I heard this morning that she repeated Baghdad Jim McDermott's lie to Mort Kondracke in the FNC's green room.

Except Jim said it about Saddam and Madge said it about OBL.

All purpose conspiracy theories. I notice the Dem flak-catchers are out in force this am to spin that the *conspiracy theories are on both sides*.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

They are just plunging off the cliff. It is red meat for the inculcated and clueless, but even the DNC arm of the media is having to step back from the more outrageous comments.

When Letterman begins to lampoon the Dean campaign with the *Bush Captured Santa* spoof, you know the Dems have lost even mainstream credibility. They may be hitting just Dean hard, now, but if the Clinton wing of the Party keeps it up, they, too, will be the butt of jokes.

And speaking of jokes, where is Teddy? Haven't seen him since the Medicare vote, where he looked like an end-stage alkie, complete w/blooming roses.
