Its Obama/Bayh, You heard it from MOTR first...
Well, aside from developments since this was first posted -
1st: From MOTR first? Eh, sorry, not even close. After all, you've lifted something from Drudge, who lifted something from a local TV station, Kansas City's own KMBC, and that's to say NOTHING of the various pundits over the last two weeks who've alternately run hot, then cold, then hot again, then cold again... on Bayh and a half dozen others.
WTF is it with folks around here that no one knows what a "scoop" really is?
2nd: Drudge?
3rd: You carelessly edited out an important part of Drudge's version of this story. Note that his headline read "BUMPER STICKER GIVES IT AWAY?"
See that question mark? It's the contemporary media's new means of delivering speculation and rumor dressed up as fact. Half of FOX's chyron newsreader strip headlines come with question marks: "Obama Muslim Terrorist?" "McCain Chosen by God?" "Iraq Responsible for 9.11?"
See, it's one of tools employed by hacks to offer up bullshit while escaping (in theory) the obligation to publish a retraction when the bullshit proves wrong (which is more often the case than not). The rule of thumb when you see a question mark in a headline is to ignore the story
that follows. Wait for a story that does not need a question mark in the hed.
4th: Drudge?
5th: You really are scoring big, big PR wins around here, MOTR. Just today with that line about being open minded, and now this. And that's without even going into the 390+ hilarities before then. You really are a hoot, dude.
