What is this? I thought Salon had a bit more finesse than this headline and article shows they do. Salon sure seems heavy on the self-flattery for finding an anonymous someone who heard another anonymous someone accidentally see something years ago. That's it.
And drawing from that the idea that there could be Watergate-style hearings seems just as reaching. One had to go to the bottom of the article to realize that absolutely no politician in his right mind is actually for such a spectacle. The article would have you believe, up to that point, that half of congress were piling through the White House shredder bins.
This is the same type of sound and fury right wing talk radio makes over the supposedly impending comeback of the fairness doctrine. They even have more claim to legitimacy than this, Kerry and Clinton have both said that they'd like to see it return. But in the end, it is all just a bunch of hot air, trying to get people to think that their story is a lot bigger than it actually is. Ditto for Salon today.
Congratulations. Your Excellence in Broadcasting Award for headline and subtitle writing, directly from the Limbaugh Institute should arrive in five to ten business days.
