RNC finds the same stories, same day as Drudge - remarkable!

So imagine that. The same day Drudge has his 'world exclusive' with ridiculously distorted clips of Wes Clark's September 2002 congressional testimony on Iraq, RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie is in Little Rock giving a speech about Clark and he's using the same testimony to riff on.
What a coincidence they were both using google on the same day with the same idea, right? Amazing.
And then, according to KnightRidder, it turns out that Drudge didn't even play the smear straight. To quote the KnightRidder ...
Clark's congressional testimony was further distorted Thursday by cyber-gossip columnist Matt Drudge, who quoted selected portions of Clark's testimony and added sentences that don't appear in the transcript on his Web site Thursday. Drudge didn't respond to an e-mail request for comment.
Oh what a tangled web ...

The corporate media doesn't want Bush opposed by the better candidates. I always thought they'd try to bring down Clark the same way they tried with Kerry all last year.

They have to protect their Boy Blunder.

The media doesn't do any research....

they just use Drudge talking points..

& so does Joe Lieberman..

that's what's really sad.

What a fitting name cyber-gossip
