CORRECTING JOSH MARSHALL: “I love this notion that if people stop taking something seriously, it ceases to exist.” I haven’t taken Josh Marshall seriously in years — since he dripped scorn on me at the Harvard blog conference in 2003 for suggesting, correctly as it turned out, that the Plame leaker might be someone other than Scooter Libby — but nonetheless, Josh still exists. I refute him thus! . . .
