According to TPM Muckraker. Because when it comes right down to it, who are you going to believe? Robert Luskin? Or Jason Leopold?
Meanwhile, the recriminations have begun at NewsBusters.
Update: Jim Treacher finds the silver lining.

Update: Truthout has responded to Luskin on its site. Details here.

Cheer up, guys. I understand you can buy a tin foil hat..cheap. Let’s see…have you tried going after DIck Cheney?..that didn’t work…impeach the prez?..nope, that didn’t work…censure the prez?…still no thrill. Here is my offer…wait till you get a CLinton back in the WH and then go after one or both of them for lying under oath. OK! It’s a deal! Now all you need to do is to get HER elected. FAT CHANCE…the libs are toast!

Great picture. Thumb at the nose? This is hilarious!

I told you that these guys fabricate news.
They learnt it from NY Times.
Now do you believe me?…LOL

It’s going to be FUN to read the TruthOut excuses. I checked their site and still nothing up about it there. One effect of this already is that several weeks ago, Google REMOVED TruthOut from the Google News due to nothing coming of the Rove indictment.

This brings “truthiness” to a whole new level of absurdity.

Do a word search for “Rove” on truthout’s home page and you’ll come up empty.
They’re not standing by their story, they’re hiding under the bed with it.

That picture is a great optical illusion.

“Update: Truthout has responded to Luskin on its site.”
Oh, dear God! Just what sort of hallucinogenic cocktail does one need to ingest to get to that level of self-gratifying delusion while a gator is swinging you around by the nads?
Whatever it is, I’m guessing that Leopold turned Ash on to it.

Roved cleared: Another in a long line of witch hunts by the left. Lets see whose life we can destroy today. Whos nxet?

Facts be damned. We all know it’s true. Rathergate lives on!!

The truth is how we make it.
The real explanation is:
Inflammation of a diverticulum or of diverticula in the intestinal tract, causing fecal stagnation and pain.
Oh, you mean, Jason Leopold, he’s got poopy problems?

Yeah Kini- it’s called diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain LOL

Abigail, the term for that is Loggorhea; Truthout is a specialist sanatorium for the condition.
