WSJ (5/16/06) reports on "media frenzy"

[Loge23]

In a major page 4 article, the WSJ details the increasingly-infamous Leopold story re: the Rove indictments. The article is actually quite fair and neither confirms nor denies the accuracy of the "scoop". The acknowledges a "media frenzy" erupting as the story was breaking on Saturday.
One disclaimer is quoted:
"Mainstream news organizations say bloggers can say something is going to happen every day for months and then claim to be ahead of the pack when it does - or forget about it when it doesn't."

As is his custom, Mr. Fitzgerald declined to comment on the story.

1. There is no indictment

No one knows anything.

That blog was bogus, and should be treated as the embarrassment that it is.

Again, I want to hear that "fifteen hours at defense counsel's office" fairy tale about Mr. Fitzgerald. That made my day, I must admit.

Bogus and pathetic.

2. 15 + 24 = 0

Yes, the 15 hour marathon session was amusing. But the "24-hour" (business hours) allowance was the clincher for me.

3. Yes, indeed,

That one was so off-the-wall, I neglected to mock it.

Thank you for keeping the important things in the forefront.

I wonder what feverish minds come up with this nonsense.

Twenty-four business hours? Based on an eight-hour day? So, that means three days must pass before an indictment can .........

I'm sorry. I'm laughing too hard to go on.

Thanks again.
