The zOMG!!!!!oneoneone Washington Times story is up--it is nothing

[Godhumor]

In fact, I'm not sure why it is even being repeated again--they say right in the article it was previously reported by the New York Post (reported, hee!) and then repeated the statements of the Obama campaign and the Iraqi official.

There is literally nothing new in it, and there is nothing that can be used as a "fresh" attack.

Check for yourself at www.washingtontimes.com (if you can stand it). I am not given to hyperbole, but it really is a non-story.

1. But some DUers are mighty concerned

[Godhumor]

2. You know, I honestly think there are some people who are terrified of the rug being pulled out

It's been a long time since we've been in a position of power this late into an election, and I can understand people freaking out about it being torn down.

But yeah, there is definitely difference between people who want to be reassured and those idiots just trying to get us worried on purpose.

3. My guess is the whole thing is about the Palin report

4. The Washington Times hasn't been taken seriously for quite a while...

at least 15 years. After the Moonie takeover, it was pretty much a write off.

7. They started the paper.

12. Yes - I had forgotten the Washington Star was a different paper and not just a buyout...

the Times wound up with most of the Star's staff after they went belly up @ around the same time but they weren't directly connected .. that's true!

15. I have the final edition of the Star somewhere

But I didn't know the Times used their staffers. Wow.

10. I didn't know Republicans had got so serious about recycling

When your lie is debunked, you do not get to roll it out again in a few weeks.

[orwell]

11. The global financial system is in full blown meltdown...

...but I'm so glad that Drudge and the Washington Times are all over an old washed up story like this.

You've got to be kidding...

13. Pfft.

The Washington Times and New York Post are the print equivalents of Faux News.

[Curtland1015]

16. Haw! What a sad attempt to hide troopergate news.

What a bunch of rubes!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Wait a minute

Wasn't this story already debunked- by the Bush (mis-)administration of all sources?

[Curtland1015]

18. Yup. Like, a month ago.

19. To quote Al Gore (at the DNC):

"I believe in recycling but this is ridiculous!"
