The legs are growing. Pretty soon this thing will look like a centipede.

Wrong. So far, the story has appeared only in conservative media or web sites. That's called preaching to the choir.

When it appears in the NY Times, Boston Globe and/or the Washington Post, as well as CDNNCBSNBCMSNB, then it will have legs.

You would think that this kind of story would be right down Fox News' alley. It is a bonafide story of political dirty tricks. Is Fox afraid to tackle it because they are sensitive to being viewed as "Republican-leaning"? Does Fox need one of the DNC outlets such as CNN or the NY Times to hint at a story before they are willing to take off with it?

Frustrating, isn't it?

I can smell these stories about people's "outrage" over anything that Bush does as Democratic plants in the news, but I doubt most of the average Joes realize how manipulative the media outlets are.

I just posted similar sentiments before I read your post. I swear I was not copying!

I agree. Our side needs to get the word out, and they're not doing a good job of it. One obvious way to show that these were "talking points" is the mentioning of Bush having "milk and cookies" with elementary school students. There were no milk and cookies served that day -- it's an obvious talking point, and it's clear that these 9/11 professional victims were spoonfed that line.

Even Drudge considers himself "too mainstream" to carry this.
