Prior to our story being published, we contacted the Obama camp for comment. They had none…and were petrified about the story. Only when FOX and several national radio talk show hosts jumped on the story, did they issue their denials. We stung the Obama people by doing what journalists should do: follow the truth, no matter where it leads. Insight reports on political intelligence without partisanship. We have run countless stories embarrassing and damaging to President Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. We have few friends in the White House—and that’s exactly the way we like it.Finally, let’s examine Kurtz’s claim that he tried to phone and e-mail the editors, but received no response. First, he called on a Sunday when there is nobody in the Insight office and did not leave a phone message, so no one can verify whether he really called or not. We learned on Monday that he did send an e-mail on Sunday afternoon, the day before his story went to print. This was not a genuine effort to get a real comment from us. He was simply covering himself before publishing his hit piece. This is precisely the kind of irresponsible journalistic practices that we teach our interns not to do.

I never thought of the double ticket before. Now that you mention it, I understand it. Once the first one is knocked out of the rumnning for President, tapping the loser as a Vice President makes a hell of a lot of sense for the one that's left. Edwards and kerry did it, and they almost won--despite being the most repulsive candidates to run for office since jimmy Carter or George McGovern.
I think we're screwed.
