I was interested in this when I saw it headlined on a well-known headline-aggregator’s website, but I held off because I figured if there was anything to it other, better-read blogs would cover it, and probably have a better handle on it than I’d be able to get. On the surface it looks perfectly like the alleged “October Surprise” from the 1980 campaign, which makes it both highly attractive, and highly suspect.
Two pieces I’ve seen so far are at Ace of Spades and Wizbang.
It’s entirely possible there is something to this, that mainstream voters need to hear about—but right now it doesn’t appear so.
UPDATE! Confirmed—by Obama. H/t: The Jawa Report.
‘NOTHER UPDATE!!!!!eleventy!! It took only 24 hours for the Obama campaign to confirm the allegation, and four whole days thereafter for Bush and Republicans to debunk it—because Obama couldn’t.
Most of a week passed before the truth came out, and it DIDN’T come from the guy who was there and who was negatively impacted by the story.
The guy who thinks he’s entitled to be our next president.
Yeah, he’s ready for prime time, all right.
