Joe Klein (who has been not wanking lately) posts a defense of his sources in response to a commenter raising questions about whether they include the Pentagon sockpuppets.
Turns out probably not. But this points out that every story is now in question. If people were willing to carry the administration's water (Glennzilla is all over this. No permalink.)on the record then the lies they're telling off the record must be legion.
And the campaign hasn't really started yet.
Update:
Jay Rosen in a swampland comment agrees with the atriots who say Joe can never not be wanking. Although he puts it a little more politely than that.
