Reply #32: "Rightwingers are rejoicing" - I doubt it. [View All]

The vast, vast majority of "right-wingers" couldn't care less about Leopold or this "story", and its accuracy or lack thereof will be quickly forgotten by the outside world.

The story's importance and impact were ludicrously overblown by people on this site. Most of the outside world spent about five minutes on it - if they even knew or cared that it ever existed - and then moved on.

In the real world, focus was never averted from the fact that Cheney's chief of staff was indicted. His indictment status didn't change. Barring a quick pardon, there will still be a trial.

None of that changed because TO published a story - true or otherwise - about a different topic. Most people can handle more than one topic or issue at a time.
