Guess when a liberal is the target of a rumor, we need to hop right on it before checking it out. But when a right-winger is the target of a rumor, we need to ignore it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-46766885394194112312009-08-17T14:32:01.546-07:002009-08-17T14:32:01.546-07:00Damn I missed it.
