Clarkegate is nicely pushing this out of the news.
Amazing it's in the NYTimes at all, even with Safire's byline.

Apart from Safire, has the Times news or editorial staff given any play to this story? It's a major story, but since it is capable of a pro-Bush and anti-U.N. spinn, it is not likely to get "legs" in the mainstream media. It will most likely float around, unnoticed by the general public, on page A7.
