Matthew Mosk

Mosk got his hands on the messages between Steffen and a Free Republic poster still only known as MD4Bush without, according to Mosk, knowing who MD4Bush is.

“Reporter Matthew Mosk did view the chat room postings between Joe Steffen (NCPAC) and MD4Bush on freerepublic.com a couple of months after the postings had occurred using sign-on information given to him by someone acting on MD4Bush’s behalf.”

In other words, Mosk had to know that MD4Bush was some kind of political operative — at best, someone with a grudge against Steffen and at worst, a foot soldier for the state Democratic party. Yet Mosk chose to conceal that from his readers.

Mosk didn't address the issue of how the O'Malley campaign knew in advance about the Washington Post report.

Sucks for Fred.

That's why you don't put people who lobbied for infanticide in high office. They don't care about the company they keep.

Huckabee continues to surge in Iowa.

my oh my....I will wait a few weeks before I type anything of interest....It is no secret who I support for President of the United States, but I agree....this story smells of rotten fish and liberals. Rotten fish, rinos, and liberals....no difference.

So, in addition to being bereft of any "fire in the belly" AND being saddled with a "trophy" wife, NOW it turns out that Fred Thompson actually KNOWS a guy who sold weed 30 years AGO!

Fred may be worse than Hitler!!!

[Plutarch]

He was charged in 1983...

Uh, wasn't that like 24 years ago?

(I am all for Fred bashing, but these WaPo charges appear contrived, lame and bogus).

[WFTR]

The guy's last brush with the law was in 1983. There's absolutely no evidence that he's still doing anything illegal or that he wants to use his association with Fred Thompson to have Mr. Thompson help him with anything illegal or unethical. Mr. Thompson isn't my favorite candidate, but I can't see this story having much influence at this point in the campaign.

I guess this fellow got caught when he “didn’t” inhale.

[wardaddy]

that was irresponsible of the advisor

folks who have serious criminal records should not be that close to any candidate if they really care about the candidate

let your wives or kids give money maybe but stay the EFF away...geez

reminds me of Bill Clinton and Juan Corona (major Miami doper) staying in the Lincoln bedroom

October surprise?

[Fred]

How convenient, right before the big MEET THE DEPRESS with the warthog from hell Russert.

[Fred]

After reading Mosk’s blogs and articles, I would have to say, Mosk has never had an original thought ever. This lightweight just waits for the spoon feeding from all the oppo dudes for whatever will please his proclivities. Most likely lining this one up for Russert....Now I am going to have to watch the worthless hack tomorrow..

As long as Martin has kept his nose clean (pardon the pun) for the last 20 years, it’s a non-issue with me. He’s no Sander Berger, that’s for sure.

[montag813]

Selling pot as a youth doesn’t make you a lifelong criminal 20 years later. Ridiculous.

DUNCAN HUNTER, AND ONLY DUNCAN HUNTER!!!!
