I guess it's up to the bloggers--again! Many reporters attended Strom Thurmond's birthday party where Trent Lott made his infamous gaff, but it was ignored in almost all reports until bloggers made it an issue two days later. Well, I just checked out the Washington Post, NY Times, and CNN articles, and none of them even mention Bush's statement that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction may not exist. They do all indicate that he considers $350 billion to be "little bitty."
