[QUOTE=Terrifel] Internet copyright violation as scandal fodder seems like kind of a reach to begin with. The Republican smear machine must be gnashing its collective teeth if that’s the most they can dredge up; Speaker Pelosi must truly be some kind of flawless angelic superbeing. What will next week’s headline reveal? ‘Pelosi makes rolling stop at intersection!’ ‘House Speaker purchases foreign-made goods!’ ‘Pelosi’s first name revealed as homosexual slur!’ [/QUOTE] You know, if the RNC actually spent more time, uh _doing_ something and less time trying to smear the opposition, then, maybe, just maybe, they won’t end up on the losing side again in '08. This is like trying to smear Obama because he’s a smoker. Apparently, the RNC learned _nothing_ from the 06 elections. ---

[QUOTE=MaxTheVool] Much as I enjoy bashing republicans, and I do, this seems like a nonissue, particularly as they actually asked a spokesperson for CSPAN who gave them an incorrect answer, and then they apologized when they got the correct answer from CSPAN. [/QUOTE] Stop it. You’re ruining all the fun. Luc hasn’t even check in yet. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] Stop it. You’re ruining all the fun. Luc hasn’t even check in yet. [/QUOTE] Yeah 🙂 and while one can say it is small potatoes, it is not IMO a non issue; the main beef I have (since I already said this effort crashed and burned) is that we have a group of elected representatives sitting in a commission that has “Study” on it’s title, and then we find out that they are not doing what they claim to do. What they show in this situation (too late bubs, you did publish it) is to add “Republican committee study” as another example of misleading propaganda lines like “compassionate conservatism” and “Bush’s counterintelligence measures”. (Everything he does is counter to normal intelligence 🙂 ) ---

**Gigo,** I just can’t manufacture enough outrage about your manufactured outrage over a very minor instance of manfactured outrage. I tried, but just couldn’t muster enough outrage. I’ll keep trying, though. ---
