Fred Thompson Addicted to Amputee Strippers?

Of course not. But there's about as much proof of that as there is for this:

A HILLARY FAN hiding behind a blog?


The idea's been floating around since Peggy Noonan's last column.

Danny Glover writes that "Noonan provided no evidence to support her suggestion that Hillary Is 44 is somehow part of the Clinton campaign" and "That anyone would suspect, without strong evidence, a link between a campaign and a random, anonymous blogger is unfair" -- but that hasn't deterred Putz from employing a question mark to mask a specious claim.

Surely, if The New York Times or some other em ess em outlet ran a story claiming that, say, HughHewitt.com was funded by the Romney campaign, Putz would be up in arms.

You'd think he might be a tad hesitant to jump on a follow-the-money bandwagon without proof. Remember when he described a Washington Post profile of Bill Roggio as "shabby misrepresentation" and "mistreatment", simply because the Post implied that Roggio had ties to the AEI? We do. Stephen Kaus debunked the nonsense, even while he memorably praised Roggio's "myopically optimistic dispatches."

Look for the Hillary story to fall apart, too.
