This Allred stuff is too Roveian by half.

Like, I invest no credulity in any of Scumdredger's other stuff, so why should I credit this story?

My take is that it's a setup. They're trolling for Dems, hoping to give the rumor some media attention before they blow it out of the water to the tune of even grater media attention, with the implication that the whole thing was some desperate Obama trick, an attempt to foist off a false story at the last minute, thereby garnering support for the Willardites.

But hey, that's just my paranoid mind tracking down the rutted trail of suspicion of Republican intentions.


(Incidentally, why the hell doesn't my spellchecker recognize "Roveian" as a proper English adjective?)

Gloria Allred has no incentive to shut the rumors down.

10. I think it's entirely credible that this may be a first step in a plan to discredit something else--

Like they know there's some REAL story out there but they want to plant something they can later discredit in the midst of the hullabaloo. Kinda like when they set up Dan Rather with fake documents in order to discredit the AWOL story.

Just add it to your dictionary (either browser or otherwise) when the pop up offers corrections.

and is a highly credible source, so I don't see the problem.
