GOP senator admits Schiavo memo originated with his office.
Special delivery for the "Schiavo memo is a fake!" crowd :
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/07/politics/07memo.html ----- Senator Mel Martinez, Republican of Florida, said Wednesday that a senior member of his staff had written an unsigned memorandum about the partisan political advantages of intervening in the case of Terri Schiavo that became a controversial footnote to the debate over the wisdom and motives of Congress's actions. In a statement on Wednesday night, Mr. Martinez said that he had just learned that the memorandum originated in his office and that its author had resigned. He did not name the author, but aides said it was Brian Darling, his counsel. Mr. Darling could not be reached for comment. ... The anonymous memorandum, which was distributed to news organizations by Democratic aides and first reported by ABC News, became widely cited in news reports as evidence that at least some Republicans were applying a political calculus to the case of Ms. Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman. Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the majority leader, and many other Republican Senators quickly disavowed the document, saying they had never seen it and that they condemned it. In his statement, Mr. Martinez said that on March 9 he had mistakenly and unknowingly handed the document to Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Martinez said that he had meant to reach for a different document and that he did not know how it had entered his possession. ... ----- (last paragraph highlighted in full for pure "LMFAO" factor) q/q

Lesson for the day: just because the GOP says something is "fake" doesn't mean that it actually is.

Re: Well After the Fake Memos the CBS Tried to Sell Us....
and vice versa, starting with their sincerity.
probably offered the aide a big payoff to fall on the sword. - Lucky bastard. That is funny though. - A republican gave a memo he didn't read to a democrat - LOL - obviously research and being informed is important to that Freshman congressman - dumbass - LOL Woulda loved to have been there when Harkin called and said "uh yah, that memo you guys are saying you didn't write, well YOUR office did it....LOL" WHAT....OUTRAGEOUS .... LIES.... SLANDER....I , wait.... - oh....nevermind [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] RB

Re: Well After the Fake Memos the CBS Tried to Sell Us....
OK, you liberals win.
We will now proceed to run the world(this is basically what we do lets be honest about it) and make it a better safer place....and probably win a few more general elections/. You guys are so obsessed over being "right" and "consistent" and seemingly so unconcerned with making America safe and running the country well. You prefer "proving" that GWB is some schmuck nazi to coming up with pragmatic strategies on issues such as Social Security, and Iraq-- In the long run you are only serving to elect more "schmuck nazis" in the foreseable future.

That is one of the most retarded posts I've ever read. It's as if you honestly believe being "right" and "consistent" are luxuries. Then again, that would easily explain your political tendencies. Being underhanded douchebags is exactly how the right has regained power in this country...but you're a liar and a fool if you think tactics of men like Frist, Delay, and Rove have done anything but significantly weaken this country.

Re: Well After the Fake Memos the CBS Tried to Sell Us....
Being "right"(meaning conforming to some insanely restrictive liberal rubric for how we can interogate known terrorist et al.) and "consistent" ARE absolutely luxuries when people are flying 737's into buildings.
If you dont believe that then you arent going to make a very good leader. PERIOD.

Re: Well After the Fake Memos the CBS Tried to Sell Us....
Do you understand that the memo was indeed a fake? Just because someone that worked for a GOP Senator wrote it, doesn't mean its contents were real. IF you knew what you were talking about, and weren't so utterly reactionary, you would see that what the memo was presented as, was false, thus a fake.

To paraphrase a blogger named Digby :
"It isn't that Republicans have no shame. It's that they once met Shame, beat the s___ out of him, rolled him up in a carpet and threw him off a bridge." q/q
