Here's how the blogs have been keeping up with it over the last month.

"Didn't you get the memo?"

The Dailykos? Well that explains why it just doesn't add up. This is probably the same bunch of Brits that tried to interfere with our election last fall. Well now need to panic.

I saw Russert vs. Mehlman. He did very well; smart guy as you say. But one thing extremely BUGGED me. Russert erroneously tied Pat Tillman to the war in Iraq. He brought up the Pentagon's failure to reveal for quite some time that Pat was killed by friendly fire. He quoted Tillman's angry family who he claims said that the Pentagon hid the truth so that they could use Pat as a poster boy for the Iraq War. I could not believe my ears, and Russert got away with it. I kept yelling at the TV that Tillman was killed in Afghanistan, not Iraq. But Russert advanced the PREMISE and Mehlman went with it, too, in his answer. It was SURREAL.

Am seeing letters to the editor in the ABQ Journal spewing this RAT line and using the 10 Downing Street memo as proof of Bush's complicity in doctoring intelligence so as to launch a war. Just wait till the Pubbies launch the counterattack using Bubba's and the RAT actions in support of the overthrow of Saddam during the final years of his administration.

For future reference, MSNBC reair MTP a few times throughout the day. I usually catch the 8 pm (MDT) showing. Sometimes CNBC reairs it on Monday evenings (5 or 6).

Thanks, but I don't get MSNBC.
