The Desperation of the Democrats is Almost Laughable

I say almost laughable, but Ms. Whitman might want to look at getting some backup for her intern spokesperson.

When asked for a response to a Socialist Democrat front group supporting gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown she had this to say.

Asked about the new Web page, Whitman's campaign deferred to its intern, Marcheta Marshall, who said, "Looks like these guys are pretty worried about Meg.

"Just like Wikipedia, I'm sure my professors won't even allow me to use it as a source for my term papers. So why does Jerry Brown's silly front group think it's good enough for voters? I know reporters won't be fooled into promoting made-up information on a gossip site."

Honey, I've got news for you. First, this is California and second, fooling the media with made up stories is easier then pulling a prank on an eighth-grader. People actually read blogs to get all the background information that the dinosaur media leaves out, so in that respect, while your professors won't allow them to be used as a source, a whole lot of people swear by them and are more likely to believe something written on a wiki site then they are the New York Times.

The site discloses that "the structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content," so its creators can't guarantee that what is posted is accurate. Users are asked to cite their sources or identify themselves if they are contributing first-hand information.

Meg might want to check with Sarah Palin to see how not responding to all these outlandish rumors works out.

Well, come to think of it, a lot of those stories about Sarah are started by established media.
