And this relentless driving of such things into our dear little ear, not to mention the inescapable notion that the nation's Democratic Party PR bureaus -- er, its news suites will be funeral homes, cemeteries, mausoleums draped in miles of black crepe the day after election day, explains why even a story like this doesn't pass the smell test. If Michael (whose last name is a guarantee of a permanent job at PEOPLE WARNER MAGAZINES) hadn't framed it from the start as a political thing it might have been credible, and even then we'd have wondered if this was wind-power lobbyists speaking. But because news hacks are infallible they can do the little things that rile the bulk of their readership and ensure that no one would believe their typing if the Lord God vouched for it.
