Instapundit has a good roundup of the ongoing Compost walkback on this "story."

Pretty obvious that Biden's over-the-skis blurtation on Sunday led to Zero's premature evolution on Wednesday. That in turn meant that the trigger got pulled on the Romney bullying-homophobe WaPo story before it could be vetted at all - even by MSM standards.

Of course it's all fake but accurate. The Romney folks need to counter now before the bully meme gets set.

Exactly. I am constantly surprise at the number of people I talk with who believe that Sara actually said she could see Russia from here front porch. Unless countered forcefully it has a way of becoming fixed in the public memory.

I think you've got it. And how much more obvious can it be that JournoList exists in some new form? Obama "evolves" and ta-da - an above-the-fold piece comes out on Page One of the Washington Post designed to imply that Romney may have been a "gay basher". Meanwhile we know almost NOTHING about Obama's youth (or adulthood for that matter) other than the carefully scripted fiction of his "autobiography". The MSM did more reporting about Joe the Plumber's background.
