DOWNING STREET: WHY BLOGGERS MATTER
Because the White House and the reporters official court stenographers don't think the Downing Street Memo story matters. The Heretik notes with dismay the pathetic symbiosis that passes for life in the White House Press Briefing Room.
Go ahead, Bob.
Q All right, Scott. At their joint news conference, both President Bush and Prime Minister Blair denied the major assumptions out of the so-called Downing Street memo. We've had other revelations, I guess, since then. But is the President wondering how the intelligence operatives and diplomatic operatives of the key ally in this mission came to these assumptions, came to these conclusions? Isn't he wondering how this happened?
MR. McCLELLAN: I think Prime Minister Blair addressed this very issue. They were memos relating to the United Kingdom and he addressed the issue in a news conference.
Go ahead, Ken.

You would think that MSNBC would have done a better job at reporting The Downing Street Memo.
Joe, I know all that you have done and will do.

Dana Milbank and anti-Semitism

Yucking it up in the post.
Dana Milbank used the valuable real estate of the Washington Post -- its only coverage of the Downing St. Memo -- to mock Rep. John Conyers and his 'hearty band of playmates.'
