Doubts on Document of Dubious Origin re Schiavo

Well, now, here is the big question of the day: Was the Schiavo Memo a fake?.

It’s only taken how many weeks to find a MSM outlet that would even ask the question?

All 55 Republican senators say they have never seen the Terri Schiavo political talking-points memo that Democrats say was circulated among Republicans during the floor debate over whether the federal government should intervene to prolong her life.

The Times surveyed all 44 Democrats and the chamber’s one independent, and only one of them, Sen. Tom Harkin, Iowa Democrat, said through a spokeswoman that he saw it circulated on the Senate floor.
“He said that the memo was being circulated by Republican members on Thursday before we went out of session, and that is when he saw it,” said his spokeswoman, Allison Dobson.

Two Democratic offices refused to respond — Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat — the latter even as he continued to accuse Republicans of being behind it.

“We will not participate in the survey. News outlets have investigated and authenticated the memo was real and came from Republican sources. We have no further comment,” said spokeswoman Tessa Hafen. “If you want more information on the memo, you should work on finding the Republican who wrote it.”

What a little snot! :-)

She did not respond to a request to name the newspaper or network that had “authenticated” the memorandum.

No, of course…she wouldn’t.

But I can’t WAIT to see what Michelle Malkin has to say about it today. Meanwhile you can read Hindrocket’s take, here and Greyhawk’s over here.
