If J Leopold were duped, Drudge would've pounced by now don't you think??

[Saboburns]

Remember Rather's memogate. Drudge hammered Rather from the beginning.

Why it was as if he had inside information.

His silence is deafening.

Don't you think??

[NYCGirl]

1. Difference: Lots and lots of people watch CBS and know who Rather is.

Very few people have ever heard of Truthout and even fewer know who Leopold is.

[Saboburns]

2. You don't think he'd like to take a swipe at librul bloggers

And libruls in general??

[NYCGirl]

7. If he wanted to take a swipe at Liberal bloggers, he'd go after someone

with much greater reach, like Salon or Kos or TPM.

5. Rather's info wasnt wrong, the memos were dubious...

dont let corporate news and pundits spin it any other way

[NYCGirl]

8. I never said anything like that. NT

[LeftNYC]

13. I meant to respond to the first post...my bad

How are things NYCGirl...This weather is driving me nuts.

[LeftNYC]

3. Leopold emailed me today and said he was further convinced

that an announcement is coming this week from a phone call he received last night.

[Maddy McCall]

4. The expiration date on his article's relevance has expired.

[LeftNYC]

9. explain to me why? nt

[Balbus]

12. C'mon, you know that 24 hours equals 5 days now...

Get with the program! :P

[LeftNYC]

16. I dont understand that part of the article. Jason should have framed

it as this week...

[npincus]

21. you correspond w/JL?

I'm ashamed of how many of our community have turned against him, and have succumbed to the denials of the treacherous, treasonous liars.

[LeftNYC]

23. me 2...i sent him an email yesterday and he thanked me

for showing support, so i asked him if he thought his sources were using him and he said he was convinced after a phone call he received that an announcement would come this week. I told him to hang in there and that he would hopefully be vindicated.

[Justice Is Comin]

24. Unfortunately he has

many people literally holding him to every word of his article, rather than focusing on the fact that this is from insiders feeding very sensitive information which could jeopardize their careers.

These communications could easily be misinterpreted as to exactness of terminology and the article went out with them stated as factual. I don't give a damn if it is 24 hours or 24 minutes. If he got absolute confirmation of certain indictment from people who KNOW it is going to happen this week, he got it right.

And he was the first one to do it. Anyone who jumps on him for the trees instead of the forest should try and do what he does and see how well their sources compare.

[npincus]

26. I just wrote him, too.

:)

6. timealone, time will tell

[savemefromdumbya]

10. see what happens Wednesday?

[LeftNYC]

18. patience is a virtue...lets wait it out...nt

[mdmc]

25. yup

time will tell

[Sammy Pepys]

11. I think it's matter of picking ones battles....

As another poster said, Jason Leopold/truthout mean nothing to most folks out there. I doubt anyone would really care.

Now, if JL/truthout are the ones that break this, that's a different story.

[ContraBass Black]

14. I doubt it.

Everybody knows who Rather is. Not so with Leopold.

[Nimrod2005]

15. Unless Drudge himself is pissed for not knowing it is a done deal

He is planning his next move quietly!

[Saboburns]

17. I put zero cred on the 24 hours bit

Never did believe that.

Personally I don't think he has been indicted.

Yet.

I do, however, think that Fitz did have a meeting with Rove's legal rep Friday. And that may be interesting as to what was talked about.

I do look for action and an indictment of Karl Rove.

And sooner, rather than later.

[Sammy Pepys]

19. It was basically an attempt to buy time....

Then if Rove was/is indicted by Wednesday, Leopold at the very least gets the benefit of the doubt. But the "24 business hours" nonsense is a totally naked attempt to buy time and hope the timing shakes out, in my opinion.

[Bethany Rockafella]

20. Drudge was also silent on the whole Gannon affair.

Now that was very strange.

[Caution]

22. Since when is Drudge any kind of bellweather?

[Catchawave]

27. Why hasn't Rove's team demanded a retraction?

Probably because they're enjoying the liberal blogs self-destruct more :shrug:

I'm waiting for Fitz and named sources, as I would if a right wing "news agency" made similiar claims against a Democrat.
