Top of the hour CBS radio news reports that Hastert has made a statement about the seriousness of stealing national security docs. They use an actual recording of Dascle's voice, saying that the timing of the "leak" is very suspect.

Timing of the leak seems to be the only RAT spin for the day. Meanwhile is John effin still on vacation?

Timing of the leak seems to be the only RAT spin for the day.

Their spin often takes the form of accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.

I suspect the democrats knew this would come out eventually, and feared its impact would be far more damaging in the fall right before the election. So they pull a clinton favorite tactic, leaking it themselves in July, in hopes it will burn itself out well in advance of the election and counting on the American public's short attention span--all the while hopping up and down and squealing about republican timing.
