Via Crooks and Liars:
I can't add to Maddow's comments except to say that she is correct on every count. Nothing demonstrates the Democrats' essential ballessness at this point than their reactions to BS from Fox and the right.
Here's an AP article on the state of the game now.
Biggovernment.com is Andrew Breitbart's site, the one that managed, through the same tactics, to sink ACORN. Jeebus, people, we know that Breitbart's a liar and that Fox deals in propaganda, not journalism. WTF?
Backstory from Karoli at C&L: same conclusions, more detail. Included is the unedited video that Breitbart wishes were under lock and key -- although I guess it doesn't really matter now -- he's done his damage.
Update: More "he said/she said" reporting from WaPo. Notice what they don't point up in the article: that everyone knows that Andrew Breitbart is a liar specializing in heavily edited videotapes, and that Fox News uses his stuff for propaganda purposes. Of course, I don't expect them to couch it in those terms, but there might be some acknowledgment of the realities, one would think.
But I guess that reality doesn't apply in the Village.
Update II: Another follow-up from C&L: apparently Fox and Breitbart are getting some pushback from the (other) corporate media. They must smell blood.
I really, really hope Shirley Sherrod has grounds to sue Andrew Breitbart and Fox, and that she does it, for everything she can get.
And as far as the administration is concerned, this has been a major fuck-up. The W political team are obviously incompetent and impotent: they can't do anything right. When will those people learn not to dirty themselves when Republicans say "Boo!"?
We need more Alan Graysons.
