here on DU that she was reported missing by her husband. Was that bogus or has there been any validation of this story?

4. If I had a dollar for every thread of rumor on DU that doesn't pan out

Edited on Tue Mar-27-07 04:43 PM by Zensea

I'd have quite a few dollars.

Sometimes they turn out to amount to something but most of the time not.
This place is often a giant rumor mill and not much different than office gossip.
There's usually a grain of truth to them but the rest is just wild idle speculation.
The same thing is happening right now with the rumors related to the brief spike in oil prices.

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy on Tuesday said it had no information to substantiate a market rumor that Iran had fired at a U.S. naval vessel in the Gulf.

"Navy has nothing to substantiate that report right now," a Navy official said. "At this juncture, there is no validity to it."

"We have no information at this time that indicates any incident taking place," said White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

NYMEX crude oil futures shot up more than $5 to trade above $68 a barrel on rumors about Iran, traders said.

I know it's a Reuter's rumor.
My point still stands.
The rumors here are almost always based on rumors from somewhere else.
I think I implied that even if I didn't directly say it.

7. I found an article from today...

that mentions her....

GOP Groups Told to Keep Bush Officials' E-Mails
Democrat Cites Investigation of Firings

By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 27, 2007; Page A03

Susan B. Ralston, while she was executive assistant to Rove, similarly used "georgewbush.com" and "rnchq.org" e-mail accounts to confer in 2001 and 2003 with Abramoff, her former boss, about matters of interest to Abramoff's clients.

In a related e-mail, an Abramoff aide said Ralston had warned that "it is better to not put this stuff in writing in . . . email system because it might actually limit what they can do to help us, especially since there could be lawsuits, etc."

Abramoff's response, according to a copy of his e-mail, was: "Dammit. It was sent to Susan on her rnc pager and was not supposed to go into the WH system."

Waxman said the exchange indicated that in some instances, White House officials were using nongovernmental accounts "specifically to avoid creating a record of communications" that are nonetheless subject to the committee's jurisdiction.
