Actually, this latest ComPost article is rather mysterious. Unless you've kept up with this case, you'd hardly know what they are talking about.

The really interesting point is that the bring in MD4BUSH for the first time. MD4BUSH is obviously the key. He's either a Compost reporter or a Dem operative (probably from Baltimore) who is working in cahoots with the Compost.

No lies in this column either, as far as I could tell, unlike the one yesterday which was chock full of lies and mischaracterizations. It seems as if they are getting a little more cautious. I don't blame them, after the fall of Rather and Eason. They could be next if they aren't careful.

In fact I believe they have already crossed the point of no return. Cooperating with an agent provacateur to publish a private email correspondence and then lying about the contents of posted threads and perhaps the emails as well. That's not smart, when there's a large electronic trail here at FR.

Here is something I found interesting and posted on another thread. The first part I found lurking over at the Baltimore Sun forum today:

Is dc925er (at the Baltimore Sun forum) MD4Bush? (Or perhaps are they husband and wife?). Note the familiarity with that Atlantic Monthly article:

Hahahaha!!!

This is absolutely stomach turning. I can't imagine the bile in the throats of everyone in O'Malley's and Curran's families.

Maybe Ehrlich's administration has been learning from Karl Rove? http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200411/green

The worst thing is the guy only owned up when a reporter came to his house with print outs of the e-mails. Sorry, my ass. He's sorry he got caught. I can just see him as a little kid, his mother dragging him by the scruff of his neck to the neighbor's house.

"Tell Mrs. Smith you're sorry."

"Sorry, Mrs. Smith," he'd say, with his fingers crossed behind his back.

This guy deserves to be unemployed for the rest of his life. Total scum.

And SWK, it doesn't matter if he started it or propogated it. That's really small of you. And it's small of everyone who has gossiped about it over the last year, too.

I sent this post to you, did you get it? We need this kinda stuff in MD.

"There was a great article in the atlantic (lib mag my wife reads) about Rove. The writer whines all about Rove?s tricks, but they work and he is a genius. He got a rumor started about this dem judge who gave a lot of money to a charity for kids, so they took those pictures of the judge with the kids and said he was a gay pedophile. It worked.

The whole WP story stinks.

"Copies of those chat room e-mails were later provided to The Washington Post."

Journalism 101 - where is the source? Even "an unnamed source" or a "confidential source"? A careful reading of the article shows that the writers were falling all over themselves NOT to reveal certain information. This story stinks to high heaven.

If a reporter was behind it, he will lose his job and career - this is manufacturing a story. It smells more like a 'rat job, all reporters have a few inside 'rats in bed with them and most MSM nitwits are more than willing to repeat verbatim as "news" any loopy left drivel fed to them. Where WP could get creamed is if the reporters had knowledge of the inside job either a priori source disclosure or had knowledge of illegal (or unethical) activity that was not disclosed.
