I believe it was Bruce Elliott of WBAL who mentioned that Democrats in Montgomery County, Maryland, were pushing the rumors about O'Malley. He also suggested it was likely the identity of the mole would become known.

The Baltimore Sun is a liberal rag tag paper in circulation decline. With the business of the Governor and the MD4BUSH guy they have turned their ugly heads in our direction. Say hello to Olesker, Rodricks and their ilk "hello boys" still PO'd the good Governor will not speak to you? Tell your buddies at the Washington Post the truth is out their and we will find it. I bet you're scared.
