Paging John Haldeman

Thanks to No More Mister Nice Blog for pointing me toward this story over on Rising Hegemon:

The Bogus Assault -- Father Freeper of the Year (should buckhead not be able to serve)

Apparently, this guy is taking his instruction straight from Nixon's campaign playbook. Which isn't the thing that pisses me off nearly as much as the fact that the media is already chasing after it like a dog after a stick. Except in this case, it's like when you pretend to throw the stick but don't really throw it, and the dog goes bounding off into the weeds anyway. Cute when a dog does it, because dogs are loyal and energetic animals, but infuriating when the media does it because they're lazy and easily distracted.
