SPEAKING OF EMAIL, a bunch of people sent me the Howard Dean spouse abuse affidavit story, too. I couldn’t quite see why it was news, and it seemed like a fairly obvious effort to stir up some dirt at the last minute. Now I learn from Andrew Sullivan and Mickey Kaus that ABC ran with the story. I don’t see why they did.

UPDATE: It’s hardly in the same league, but the Wesley Clark testimony excerpted on Drudge isn’t quite the same when you read the whole thing, according to Tom Maguire.
