1. I believe they were the first to say the docs were forgeries
Buckhead posted on that blog and it took off from there.

What's sinister is how quickly after 60 Minutes, powerline had the "forgery" story.

5. The RNC is using the blogs just like they use Faux
It's so friggin obvious. Blogs were meant to be independent sources of news, not mouthpieces for the BFEE. I think we need a new word for these shills. Any ideas?

How about "Whore logs", or Whogs?

Who Is ‘Buckhead’? Kerry Assaulter Seemed Prepped
by Robert Sam Anson



The last seven days brought this: Dick Cheney suggested that the election of John Kerry would result in "devastating" terrorist attack. (His nominal boss merely opined that Mr. Kerry is a fan of Saddam Hussein.) Two generals informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that the C.I.A., in contravention of international and military law, kept up to 100 Iraqi detainees off the Abu Ghraib prison rolls in order to hide them from the Red Cross. The "Coalition of the Willing" lost another member when Costa Rica, which doesn’t maintain an army and never joined it in the first place, asked to be taken off the White House list. Remaining international relief workers began clearing out of Iraq, after four of their number, including two Italian women, were kidnapped from their headquarters in downtown Baghdad. The U.S. effectively ceded the Sunni Triangle to the bad guys, who said thank you by launching one of the heaviest ever mortar barrages on the center of the capital.

And, oh yes: American deaths in Iraq passed the 1,000 mark. (Actually, this happened roundabout the time Mr. Bush was citing phony figures for Al Qaeda leadership killed or captured during his convention acceptance speech, but the Pentagon was late owning up.)

Small potatoes, in short. Bagatelles. Asterisks to the REALLY BIG story this week, which was exactly when Times New Roman showed up on typewriters.

6. the two people who reported...
....Buckhead's comments to powerline were named Tom Mortensen and Liz MacDougald .

Mortensen is a swiftboat NUT. I already researched him, although the thread here was pulled because his phone number was included in his own bio.

And MacDougald? Doesn't it seem very odd that Buckhead's last name is MacDougald, too?

From a commentary on dailyKos:

Buckhead's doubts were No. 47 in a list of 217 comments, on one of dozens of such discussion threads. But they were noticed by Tom Mortensen and Liz MacDougald who, the next morning, emailed the link to Scott Johnson, a lawyer in St. Paul. Sitting at home, Johnson reprinted Buckhead on the blog he runs with two fellow lawyers, Power Line (powerlineblog.com), at 8:51 A.M., and then went to work.

So the assist from Buckhead to powerlineblog was made by a known operative and the possible wife or sister of Buckhead (who is an operative, too).
