Legless, Much Like a Worm (Re: Military Industrial Media Complex)

Scooter commented on two reasons there would be no legs to the NYT story about military analyst taking direction from the Pentagon on what to say and taking money from defense contractors, while pretending to present independent expert opinions all over the media:

1) Too late in the Bush Admin. (I might have to revise this if McC wins though his statements on Gitmo and "torture" might insulate him) and 2) attributes too much cred to the Idiot King.
