THE MIGHTY WURLITZER: Maureen Dowd states an “outrageous falsehood” about President Bush. Other left-leaning media folks uncritically pick it up and repeat it.

Spinsanity has the whole story, and concludes: “The rapid spread of this myth is yet another sad commentary on the state of American political journalism.”

Yet another.
