‘It’s not the sex, it’s the lying’

Share article:

Wondering what happened to that bogus little Schwarzkopf story that headlined Drudge all day today? The one claiming that the DNC was sending out faked auto-phonecalls to voters in swing states supposedly from the General endorsing Kerry? That story that all the wingnuts were going on and on about all day?

Turns out it wasn’t the DNC who created the fake. Surprised? I didn’t think so. Atrios has all the goods.

And no, Drudge’s incorrect story does not appear in his archives. When he gets it wrong — as he frequently does — the evidence disappears along with the truth.

UPDATE: Something odd going on with Atrios’ links. If the one above doesn’t work, go to Atrios’ main page and scroll down to the “Funny Monkeys” story that I was trying to link to originally here.

UPDATE: Another Drudge story, appearing today and still there, about problems with E-machines in Philly, is also wrong. Beware the Rightwing Blogs/Websites/Radio Shows today! They are inventing the case they intend to make tonight in the event that it’s close. Which it won’t be.

    Drudge had reported that Philly machines recorded early votes. The networks have clarified this two hours ago and STILL Drudge has yet to update it.

    Is it bad to wish non life threatening cancer on him. Maybe a mild melanoma smack dab in the middle of his face? Or maybe an intestinal virus. Lots of pooping and puking?

    jaime,

    "Lots of pooping and puking?"

    You raise an interesting issue. Why are the neandercons not awash with cases of Campylobacteriosis or one of the various strains of E. coli given the amount of crap that’s shoveled down their throats by Drudge et al. Lot’s of pooping; a just reward indeed.

    > Maybe a mild melanoma smack dab in the middle of his face?

    The major news of today may be that Baylor Hospital in Dallas has develeoed a pill that cures melanoma. The doctors are creating a private company so they can produce and get it on the market sooner.
