Don't worry, Di - the AP will take care of the publicity of grudges...as long as the accused is a Republican. I searched the whole article in vain for the mention of a Democrat such as Jefferson, Hastings, or McDermott, but I did see a reference to a Democrat campaign against the Republican "culture of corruption."
This is slime, and the AP is completely without shame for it.
Yellow journalism.
Whether it was Rathergate and the forged memos, or Newgate and the taped tapped phone line, or Foleygate and the trumped up charges of child molestation, there is COORDINATION between the DNC and the media in breaking these stories.
