Rumors of O'Malley's alleged infidelity have long circulated in Baltimore but were not printed in such daily newspapers as The Sun or The Washington Post. It took postings on the Free Republic site, based in Fresno, Calif., to bring that gossip into the local papers of public record, as part of the story of a state official's resignation for helping to spread such chatter. It's just like I said days ago. Everyone had heard the rumor. Even my parents had heard it and they don't have a wide circle of friends.
The papers waited until they could find a way to sting the GOP with it. And it was only possible because the "media" ignored the story in the first place.

I think the BS is committed to Duncan and O'Malley is going to get it in the back regularly from them.(stop whatever you're thinking!)
WaPo got a story, BS got a lob shot to slam everyone with.
