Sept. 18 was the date I saw reported earlier today here on FR. I forget what the source was. They're now denying it?

Sept. 18 was the date I saw reported earlier today here on FR.

That's the date that ABC news was reporting earlier this evening, too. If that date is correct, you have to admit that taking almost a month for this letter to arrive is somewhat suspicious. (Insert your own USPS joke here)

I was just flipping between CNN and MSNBC about 6:00 PM today and they had a timeline for the letter to Dashle, with 10/9 as the postmark date. I too had seen 9/18 as the postmark date on TV media reports this AM.

The only significance I see in lying now about the date is it looks kind of bad that Daschle's mail sits around for almost a month unopened; kind of petty, but then so are many of his statements.
