This is nunya bidness and my attempt to summarize and explain the MD4Bush saga. nunya bidness wrote the first draft. I tweaked it a bit and added links. Thank you to the FReepers who commented on the previous thread.

Please also see Congressman Billybob and Dallas Mike's excellent posts for further discussion and analysis.

This National Review Online article by Stephen Spruiell also makes for good background reading (FR thread here).

MD4Bush Ping!

This is a revised version of the draft MD4Bush FAQ on a previous thread.

FYI - I only post here. I don't speak for Free Republic.

Just an FYI-- Tony Snow is having Gov. Erlich as a guest today. I do not know if MD4BUSH will be discussed.

What time?

I think I'm going to start a press conference live thread.

Thanks for the ping. Maybe when this is over, this will be another center piece on FR's Home Page like the Rather/Mapes lies getting shredded by Buckhead and TankerKC.

Good job. To get competent press coverage, they need to be approached as if they are terminally lazy. "Read two pages, punch a couple click links, and you've got the whole story." That's what your summary does for the lazybones in the press. If you've got Kristinn's cell phone #, you might call him and suggest that your thread substitute for a 30-page paper handout at the Press conference.

Like collusion between a MSM reporter and the democRAT party is anything new.

Great synopsis, thanks and bump.

Thanks for the summary, CiNYC.

FReeper NCPAC (now known as former Republican Maryland Governor Ehrlich staffer Joe Steffen)

This term is a bit confusing - I would re-word it as:
now known as Joe Steffen, onetime staffer to former Republican Maryland Governor Ehrlich

You're right that it's confusing.

It should read: "Joseph Steffen, former staffer to Republican Maryland Governor Ehrlich."

Unlike Dan Rather and Mary Mapes, I welcome any comments, corrections, additions or suggestions.

Many Thanks for posting this history summary. Congressman Billybob's comments were very insightful. In my personal view, the saga of MD4Bush points out the many legal complexities of running a discussion site. Free Republic offers the opportunity for infiltrators of all stripes to posture and pose in various roles. We all owe Jim Rob our profound thanks for hosting FR.

Well, if the MSM is reading:

Free Republic is a FORUM, not a Blog.
We're FReepers (or posters), not Bloggers.
There are no Blog entries here, only Posts (or Threads).
A FReepmail is not a chat. It's a PRIVATE message.
