Deluded on Downing Street
Kevin Drum catches the first whiff of sweat among the big boys on the Bushie side of the blogosphere. It appears they're about to break out with a bad case of Rathergate fever and Captain's Quarters is leading the charge.
It would be comical if it wasn't so sadly desperate. First they ignored the story; then when it finally hit the news stream, they minimized the importance of the Downing St. Minutes. When that didn't work, they started mocking the messengers. Now, despite their best efforts, the story has got mo' - 670 items just on Google News today. They now see they can't kill it, so they're attacking the authenticity of the documents? Drum debunks this theory out of the gate of course.
It's interesting that CQ is leading the way on this, considering he was so all-fired up about the alleged corruption in Canada. Putting aside that the basis of the so-called scandal he broke was the funneling of government money into PR firms, an everyday occurrence in GOP-DC; it's curious he's offended by the Canadian government lying to Canadians, but when his own President lies, he's offended by the proof.
Hard to describe a guy who can pull an about-face like that in his moral judgments as an ideologue. There are other words for it though. I leave you to pick one for yourself.
