102. Same criticism for you as I have for Drudge
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 03:26 PM by Neo Progressive
Now that the story seems totally false, YOU don't want to look wrong, so you apologize for being "fooled" by a conservative hitman, but not for being wrong. Drudge is blaming Wesley Clark for the whole incident, trying to pass the buck as well.

#3 should read like this:

3) If there are no tapes and no letters and no credible friends then Drudge has been discredited beyong repair (which is not such a bad thing under the circumstances). ALL of the other media who reported "facts" also have been hurt. My own credibility will be hurt, because instead of reading the "facts" I went with my anti-S&B feelings, and continuously pursued a story that the vast majority of people DIDN'T believe due to LACK OF EVIDENCE.

Putting caveats in your apology shows just how much more insincere you are in wanting to apologize than in wanting to blast John Kerry's campaign.
