Kerfuffle

You may have heard/read that Harry Reid was quoted as having trashed Gen. Pace as "incompetent" during a conference call with liberal bloggers. This was reported by the ever inaccurate Politico, picked up by Drudge, with all the pearl clutching/fainting conservative bloggers proclaiming it now the end of the world as we know it due to such incivility.

All well and good.

Except now three of the bloggers who were on the conference call are saying it never happened. You know it's funny. Not funny ha ha. But funny sad that The Politico has immediately jumped to the limelight as a "credible" source, yet they've routinely gotten stories completely wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if this one isn't wrong as well.

Update: Ok, so Reid did say it, although there is still dispute of whether Reid was talking about Pace of Bush. Actually they're both true.
