A Blogger’s Failed Attempt To Sandbag Connie Schultz

[Swede]

snip
A conservative blogger’s recent attempt to sandbag Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist Connie Schultz proved to be an epic failure — and the only thing saving him from public embarrassment is Schultz’s own grace.

The story begins on July 9, says Schultz, when she received an email from the inquiring blogger, who promptly misspelled the name of the author, former columnist for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, and winner of the 2004 Pulitzer for commentary:

Dear Ms. Shultz,
We are doing an expose on journalists in the elite media who socialize with elected officials they are assigned to cover. We have found numerous photos of you with Sen. Sherrod Brown. In one of them, you appear to be hugging him.

So funny, and it shows just how desperate wingnuts are to dig up dirt and how stupid they are for failing to do basic research.

3. What about journalists that are owned by candidates...

...are they covering that too. Like, for example, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Hannity etc.

and the other 'journalists' owned by Bain.

5. The Onion writers have to be upset with this

...because they didn't think of it first.

Maybe the "reporter" can find a new life writing political parody.

6. Those silly republicans

Their desperation is showing so much lately. Have they forgotten Karl & David's famous dance together?
