#1 ...It's starting to become painfully clear that the Nice Lady who wrote the damn article in the first place had an ax of some sort to grind, and she ground it on the pointy lil' heads of the RS staff. Some of the stories I'm reading today indicate the level of fury on the part of the RS leadership is reaching Bush re-election level, and that there are some folks for the chop, as Lord Blackadder used to say.

#2 I first became suspicious when I read Rolling Stone.

#3 It's never about 'facts' for the progressives. It's all about 'feelings'. Then they wonder why their plans and programs collapse or fail. The RS staff is just in damage control, as they're very unlikely to do serious soul search why they got so easily suckered - cause of their own bigotry and bias. Can't face those facts.

#4 Very true, P2K: now the word is that while the story may not be true, there are important 'truths' to be learned. It's another example of 'truthiness' by the Left.

#5 Volokh had a good piece on the legalities of defamation and libel.

RS and Erdley probably shouldn't take on any serious financial commitments (like eating at McD's) for a while.
