Good work madskillz. Sqrl put up some good links too.
But how is a Palin aide supporting Palin a reliable source? That's like me going on record to defend the Democratic Party. Not really risking very much. Some of the other ones are at least relatively non-involved.
But you act like someone issuing a statement that allegations aren't true automatically negates them. Plenty of people did that for the Obama-Ayers' connection but that still seemed to be at the forefront of a lot of people's minds.
And why does not going on record automatically make a source unreliable? It might even show that they aren't trying to get any personal credit for breaking the story. Hell, the guy's identity who broke the Nixon scandal wasn't revealed until a year or two ago.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
