Boy, they sure are in damage control mode now. Must be even worse than we are imagining.

[CFC__VRWC]

"We issued a strongly worded statement full of condemnations lacking any sincerity and demands for internal investaigations which we will never pursue. What more could the Nazi Party, errrr, GOP, want? Can't we just move on and put this behind us?"

[Indy Pendance]

I wonder what we don't know, like, who's really behind this scandal?

[SolidSupplySide]

executive director of the Maryland Democratic Party earlier dismissed questions concerning the tactics used by MD4BUSH as "irrelevant."

Didn't some Dem MD legislators originally call MD4Bush a "hero"?

[Sacajaweau]

Reporters called Miller a hero, too.

[unixfox]

"The Maryland Democratic Party would never ever condone personal attacks on anyone for any reason..."

Unless of course they think they can get away with it.

[John O]

Translated: "he did what we wanted (ordered?) so now we can throw him to the dogs so that the party will prosper"

[SolidSupplySide]

Ah yeah, here it is:

"We have no knowledge of who MD4BUSH is," [executive director of the Maryland Democratic Party Josh] White said. The governor "should stop chasing a hero and start apologizing to the people of Maryland because Joe Steffen said he did it."

I apologize for attributing the "hero" comment to an anonymous Democrat legislator from Maryland. It actually came from Josh White, the executive director of the Maryland Democratic Party.

Josh White, executive director of the Maryland Democratic Party, said the administration was trying to divert attention from Ehrlich's personnel practices.

Hey jughead, come and get it. And get a lawyer. A good one.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Mitchell is encouraging his party to launch an investigation.

"Round up the usual suspects."

WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said the executive director of the Maryland Democratic Party earlier dismissed questions concerning the tactics used by MD4BUSH as "irrelevant." Party officials changed their mind and issued a strong, purposeful statement of condemnation.

Ruh roh.

Bwah hah hah hah....

[An.American.Expatriate]

"The Maryland Democratic Party would never ever condone personal attacks on anyone for any reason, including as a response to a dirty trick campaign conducted by Gov. Ehrlich and his staff."

WTF????

MD4BUSH was "responding to a "dirty trick campaign"???

Nothing like smearing you adversaries while "condemning" the actions of your "hero"!!!

Also, this nugget reported by WBAL in March:

The mayor spoke publicly Monday about Md4Bush.

"I don't know who the person is that is Md4Bush, who engaged the governor's longtime dirty tricks person into the banter that revealed this," O'Malley said. "If I ever find out, I'm going to give the person a medal, though, because they really ended a lot of pain that the governor put me and my family through for many, many months."

[polymuser]

From irrelevant to despicable in 6 seconds flat. Amazing the difference a bit of evidence makes, eh?

Hey, I hear Democrats say it's the seriousness of the charge that matters. They apply that to Rove, Cheney, and any Republican, but never with a Democrat. How come? Why not? I'm so confused...
