Kurtz/Swiftboating

Howie Kurtz at WaPo has a good roundup of 'stuff' going on in the blogosphere (maybe he misses Dan Froomkin?), but misses the key point of his lede.

His post the other day, covering the CNS bushwa 'swiftboating' of Rep. Murtha was basically a CNS press release. He failed to mention the background/motivation/lack of veracity of CNS in general, and the odd similarity in tone, content, and timing to CNS 'revelations' of the 'charges' against Kerry in '04. He starts to address this today, mentions briefly some of the info about CNS and it's operatives (I won't call them reporters), then veers off in a giddy whirl thru Blogistan.

Nice try, Howie, but try again, okay?
