Well.....In reading about this case, I read about a GOP Senate 'talking points' memo obtained by ABC news where they discuss just how they're going to exploit this issue for politcal gain over the Democratic Party.

"Vampires". Those who feast on dead flesh, is more than appropriate.




Looks like ABC may have followed in the footsteps of CBS and fallen for yet another forged document:

    It's Rathergate all over again...

    Very quietly, Senate Republican leadership aides to both Sen. Rick Santorum and Sen. Mitch McConnell, as well as the Senate Republican Policy Committee, have been using the Senate recess break to reconstruct the purported distribution of a document that media outlets, including ABC News, the New York Times and a number of regional newspapers, identified as Senate "GOP talking points" on the Terri Schiavo fight that unfolded over the weekend.

    Republican leadership staffers now believe the document was generated out of the Democratic opposition research office set up recently by Sen. Harry Reid, and distributed to some Democratic Senate staffers claiming it was a GOP document, in the hope -- or more likely expectation -- that it would then be leaked by those Democrats to reporters. In fact, the New York Times stated that it was Democratic staffers who were distributing the "talking points" document.
