"Wow! Makes sense or is at least internally consistent, is it not, thus far, with what we may (or may not) know. "
It's the only internally consistant explanation I can think of.
I think Rush is right on too, as usual - that the Dems are just trying to confuse the issue so much that voters just have a fuzzy indistince idea that Bush did something wrong but that its complicated and that they dont understand exactly what - perfect for complaining that theres too much of a cloud over the white house to let Bush pick a supreme court nominee, and that the nation would be better served by waiting till 2008.
I think this will deflate just like the 60 Mins crapola.
You & I agree, Adam on the likely origins of this story,
and moreover on the tactical and strategic aims of the Dem)MSM:
(creates a distraction from much more substantive and important life-and-death issues: defeat of Bush USSC nominees, interfere with War on Terror and diminsih likelihood of success in Iraq, hurts Bush & Rove, (& the GOP), distraction from other agenda items, like tax reform and Social Sec. Reform, distraction from the positive signs in the economy by focusing on a bogus but negative story, etc.) of this "tempest in a teapot."
Thanks for your contributions & thoughts.
