It IS a scandal. How can anyone say otherwise? PEOPLE MUST BE FIRED OVER THIS.

I agree - it is a scandal. Why did the columnists do it? Easy - money to push what they already believe in.

Why did the government do it? That's the question. Some real bonehead plays here.

I really am a lot more upset about the vote fraud in Wash. & Wisc.

Bull. This one is likely as bogus as the Gallagher (sp?) case. She was hired as an expert, not paid to promote. All they have is the Armstrong case. What they do not have are liars making up stories (NYTIMES) or partisans forging documents for stories the "believe" to be otherwise true. Nor do they have lame excuses like the pressure to be first made them do it, even though it was a story they'd been working on for FIVE years.

The gov't hires contract labor from experts all the time. There is no scandal in that.

[Huck]

PEOPLE MUST BE FIRED OVER THIS.

In this administration? Are you kidding? They'll get promotions, or at minimum, shiny medals pinned on their chests.
