Abu Wabu

I'll say this for her: Mary Mapes has a demonstrated tendency to soil her pants when called to account for her "journalism". Not satisfied with becoming a poster-child for Bush Derangement Syndrome and studied self-embarrassment, she writes a book that in its course accuses anonymous rightwing bloggers of attacking her, and names Karl Rove as "the mastermind of the Republican attack against the story." Wowee. This approach compounds her problem: she has to promote her book in the media and appear in interviews, but, as with the blogosphere's takedown of the whole sorry mess she created, she seems totally unprepared for any thinking person to challenge her credibility. Blitzer and O'Rielly both pointed out to her that, given the timing of the Bush/TANG story's release so close to the presidential election, she therefore bore the burden to prove it rather than irresponsibly leaving it up to someone out there to disprove it. Her answers show that she remains almost somnambulistic on this point.

This is why I enjoy Ace Of Spades.
