LOL

A few minutes ago you could click on the Edwards story, and see an "apology" about getting the story wrong a few hours ago.

Just checked back, and the apology page, which was filling up very quickly with criticism, is gone and you now have to register to post!

LOL Politico is a new Fox News.

1. check out the staff page
I found it quite enlightening. They are in this big-time, with a helluva big staff. I predict failure.

5. In their zeal to out-Drudge the Corp media, they made the
all-too often blunder of relying on some source who speculates over a beer at the local watering hole the failing to check their facts and back up the sources.

They probably got the source's number from a 'high government official', too.

There's NO Doubt that it too OFTEN is an handmaiden to both the RNC and Rove's directives. Albeit it is a far sight better at keeping *somewhat covert* than the brash Drudge Report site. :thumbsup:

REMEMBER: Dear Leader made a point to identify and promote POLITICO.COM during his last true press conference. If that is not "a tell" then I don't know what is. :shrug:

Jim soon moved to Roll Call where he covered the new GOP majority. His next stop was the Wall Street Journal where he covered Congress and the White House. Finally, he landed at the Washington Post in 2002, where he covered Congress, the 2004 campaign, the White House and, ultimately, politics.


Fucking Pukes

8. Mike Allen drools almost as much as Tweety...
...when talking about Bushco. Rove has played Allen like a violin.
