Courtesy of Newsweek, mainstream medias pet blogger Wonkette takes a cute little slap at the bloggers who broke the Dan Rather fraud story: Fast Chat: The Wonkette.
What did you think of the bloggers role in the Dan Rather affair?
I think they did a disservice to the debate because they made the debate about the documents and not about the president of the United States. There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to.
While blogs like LGF were doing a disservice to the debate by exposing phony documents used to influence a presidential election, Wonkette was servicing the debate by speculating often about the size of John Kerrys reproductive organ, and by trumpeting bogus exit poll results to the world on election day.
A real class act. You can see why she gets so much coverage in the MSM.
zzzinger!
Most of the time -- the last few weeks, it's been difficult at best; time has been difficult to manage. I apologize for not responding...
This is the equivalant of saying, "Just because the evidence is phony, doesn't mean that the charges aren't true!" And IIRC, that's pretty much exactly what Dan Rather said, wasn't it...
Hey, Wonkette... Go back to screwing congressional staffers for money.

Wankette would probably be more appropriate.
Maybe after a night of drinking.
True....I stand corrected.
