with prodding from senators kennedy and lautenberg the propaganda case of
armstrong williams has been referred to the us attorney's office.
this is really important, and i'll tell you why. with all the other republican scandals and prosecutions going on right now, if this thing were to start getting some press it would add just the perfect amount of spice and context to what these guys are really about. and it would pre-empt the standard republican response of slime snd smear. if they tried to do that to fitzgerald (whose motives seem to be unquestionably unbiased) then democrats could point to the armstrong williams business and say, "see, you can't believe anything these people say! all they do is spew propaganda!"
and maybe even Faux News viewers would start to question what they hear, knocking off yet another point or two from bush's plummeting approval numbers

...must keep the story alive and the pressure on the MSM to cover this. there is a very strong possibility that it will get lost in the blizzard of scandal and corruption coverage that is only just getting started this fine october. and right now, in the wake of yesterday's contrived "troop town hall" (or whatever the fuck they were calling that sham,) is the perfect timing to get this story some traction.
