Remembering Craig Spence

Reading an excellent post about the whole Jeff Gannon/J.D. Guckert brouhaha on our esteemed colleague the King of Zembla's well-researched site, we ran across this link to a post on a site known as Rigorous Intuition that really puts the whole affair into another light.

That would be a strobe light, shining on a giant disco ball that's twirling around at the speed of the spin coming out of the White House on a daily basis. Seriously, check out these two pieces for perspective you won't find in the SCLM or most anywhere else. (And we have to say that while we mostly agree with the King on his "no shit, Sherlock" stance, we still think that the Gannon scandal should be prominently featured for the time being, if only to have one more thing to hit these bastards over the head with while we still can. Just because it isn't exactly news that the Bushists lie and manipulate and propagandize every chance they get doesn't mean we shouldn't point it out every time it happens.)

And if, in six months or a year, after this story has gone colder than Lynne and Dick Cheney's sex life, Guckert turns up tits up in a pool of his own blood -- or disappears and never turns up again anywhere, any time -- take a moment then to think about Craig Spence, and Republican cover-ups, and how much tinfoil you're going to need for your baseball cap if you want to keep living safely in this country.
