Naughty, naughty, naughty. Using a faked memo to catapult your propaganda? Smells of desperation:
The memo, first reported by Politico and Big Government and pushed hard by Drudge, allegedly shows the Dem leadership telling rank and file Dems to stay hush-hush about a scheme for a “doc fix” later this year that, in essence, would make the bill's deficit-reduction meaningless.
After Dems alleged to TPM that the memo is fake, Politico pulled down the story.
The memo, however, was pushed to some reporters by the office of GOP leader John Boehner. A source forwards an email sent at 12:58 PM by Boehner spokesman Michael Steel to The Daily Caller's Jon Ward and other reporters, with the original memo attached.
