The governor reacted strongly the day after private e-mails between a former aide and someone called MD4Bush became public.

Gov. Bob Ehrlich reacted Thursday to the private e-mails that the 11 News I-Team first reported Wednesday. Collins said Ehrlich is using the e-mail messages to bolster his claim that the Democrats are behind an orchestrated effort.

"It appears that an orchestrated effort was put together to inflict political damage on our administration," Ehrlich said...

"If it does go back to the Democratic Party, they will have a lot of explaining to do," Ehrlich said.

A spokesman for the mayor's office told the 11 News I-Team that they don't know anything about that e-mail. Collins said the Maryland Democratic Party called the governor's accusation "another example of the governor trying to deflect blame for his staffers' misdeeds."


WBAL is hot on this story.

We should delay this story as much as possible and throw it on the front burner in 2006 and let it sizzle!

Jim, any chance you can out MD4BUSH without waiting for a subpoena? Those of us in Maryland would love to see the state Democratic Party's dirty tricks exposed.

Two reporters from WBAL were at the March for Justice II. They were far less interested in the March, than they were in this particular story. I talked to them a little. Kristinn talked to them at some length.

Bottom line: they already had the outline of what happened, and were fairly knowledgeable about the computer aspects of the story. It looked then like they would follow this to the end.

It's called "shifting focus".

Strange, isn't it, that when the WaPo printed the story back in February, that they only showed one half of the email exchange. You would have thought that they would have wanted to see the other half before buying into the story.

Is WBAL an actual news outfit, or it like the TV stations here in Central Florida, DNC propaganda outlets?

Don't hold your breath. They'll probably try to pull a CBS - lie, stonewall, obfuscate and selectively let information out in dribs and drabs.

I bet they had everything, all the info. One of their goons had to see the FR posts on this. It would only be reasonable to watch the site where the posts occured.

I don't believe that they didn't know who they were dealing with when they ran the story in the first place. They would not risk it.

WBAL is the typical network radio station, conservative talk show hosts bring advertisers and listeners who are then subjected to the disgustingly biased network news every half hour.

It was just like old times last week when X42 spoke at the Oklahoma City memorial. The half hour news led with his own voice. Silly me, when W got elected I looked forward to hearing him 48 / 7. In my dreams...we usually only hear him on network radio if he has made a mistake.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't these emails common knowledge on FR for months?

Awesome investigation they got there.

Well said!! I do think Ron Smith was incredibly wrong on Iraq ... I couldn't listen to him for about a year.

One half of them were. The other half just were revealed yesterday.

Of course, why both halves weren't in the original story is a question the Washington Post probably should answer, dont you think?
