Actually, with these articles timing, I am wondering if the Hillary camp was involved..

Because the story is a month old and they’re just getting around to reporting on it now.
Even less reason for Drudge to pick it up.

Maybe he didn’t know.

Now that is perfectly reasonable theory.

You forget that oliver's "colleagues" (ahem, if you can call journalists your colleagues if you are the IT geek for a media company)are in the business of yellow journalism and muckracking. Ollie is simply thowing mud to see if he can get some to stick. He is back in his "maybe I can get hired by a campaign like my hero KOS" mode. sorry jay, you’re missing the point.

I'm having difficulty figuring out what the gripe is here. So a Politico blogger writes that Jesse Jackson is going to vote for Barack Obama. So what? The Oliver says Smith was "pushed to concede" that this was already reported. Where did Smith say this was breaking news or that this was something that hadn't been reported before? Maybe he didn't know. It was in the NY Observer which isn't exactly a household paper. Why do you question the timing? I’m having difficulty figuring out what the gripe is here.

I liked August’s name for them; Politico-dependents.
