Feb. 13, 2004  |  Is American politics suddenly returning to the bad old days, when Washington journalism became frenzied with sheet sniffing and keyhole peeping? That seems to be the default program of the right-wing media machine whenever Republican poll numbers sink into the red zone.

Late Thursday morning -- with George W. Bush's credibility damaged on several fronts as reporters demanded answers to questions about his National Guard service that should have been asked years ago -- the Drudge Report defamed his leading Democratic challenger with a "world exclusive" smudge of personal dirt.

Chris Lehane is a Republican? Who knew?

[_Jim]

Really!

Don't ya love it when the demos self-implode!

[Hon]

Turns out Clark is a Republican. too. (Which I guess might be true--this week.)

[faithincowboys]

This is really sick that they would try to blame us for this--The Left learned too much from Joe Stalin.

[Sister_T]

They wish! They know that the Clintons are responsible for this.

[NormsRevenge]

what's the old saying ,,, "can dish it out but can't take it" ?

[woofie]

There are just too many people popping out of the Dems pants to ignore

[umgud]

Yo Joe, put some ice on it.

[finnman69]

It's like little stupid kids samcking someone in the head from behind and then pointing at you saying "he did it".

[_Jim]

I think Clark has multiple personalities - "The many faces of Wesley Clark" - stalking horse for the Clintons, lobbyist, former Republican singing GWB's praises on year and a registered democRat the next. He's been made a fool - and he doesn't even see it.

ROFLMAO!

[PeteFromMontana]

Wow! This hasn't even hit the "mainstream" press yet and already it is Bush's fault!

Predictable

[wattsup]

The latest garbage on Kerry has the fingerprints of the clintonoids all over it. I tell you this is the plan. All democratic presidential candidates will not have a chance for a runaway because slick willie and hitlery wont allow it. Hitlery needs for all the rats to implode so she can step up and come to the rescue the party. I have been saying this for a year now. MARK MY WORDS

[Ron in Acreage]

Tell the dems to keep it in their pants and they won't get noticed.

[des]

Hijack the party.

[Jeff Gannon]

Oh yeah, that must be why NONE of the networks are reporting the story even though they are all prepared to do so.

Kerry will be on Imus tomorrow. Let's wait and see!

[faithincowboys]

So true. This is triangulation again from the Clintoons. Instigate an attack on Bush (AWOL) from Kerry and McAwful and then launch the other woman thing on Kerry (via Clark) and then try to make everyone think it was the GOP "sex police" at it again.

Then Hillary comes in and saves the day....

[js1138]

Clark is a Republican...

It ain't smear if it's fact, but then character don't count.

[faithincowboys]

Wasn't it weird watching tv today? Judy Woodruff looked positively suicidal! It was like the elephant in the room, it was so funny to see everybody try to pretend this Kerry thing wasn't out there.
