Why do you say that this came from the SF Gate/Chronicle, when obviously, they'd never print anything like this?

It is, after all, printed in their "View From the Right" column, which is what liberal rags wave every time somebody accuses them of having a bias.

What's really interesting here is the similarities and differences in reaction to these (really ghastly) memos, and Bob Novak's "leak" of the Joe Wilson affair.

In the latter case, the smelly details -- such as the fact that Wilson's "mission" was patently useless -- were ignored. "The leak" became big news, because it presented (to the uninformed) a reason to distrust Bush's Iraq policy.

In this case, the leak is being downplayed, because to play it up would be to highlight the fact that the D's are, in effect, hoping to mount a coup -- a literal coup.

And, quite obviously, the mainstream media are on-board with it, if not directly complicit.
