Nit Picklering
AP reporter Nedra Pickler is known as being a stickler for detail in her presidential-campaign coverage. Too bad she gets so many things wrong

Welcome to the exciting world of "Nit Picklering," a label devised by popular liberal blogger Atrios to honor Associated Press campaign reporter Nedra Pickler's invention of a new standard for honesty whereby a Democrat is lying every time his or her comments neglect to include literally the whole truth, whether or not the overlooked fact actually contradicts the claim in question.

Pickler struck again on Dec. 13, charging that "when he criticizes Bush's links to Lay, Dean never mentions that Enron's mismanagement was not a result of the president's tax-cut package." Similarly, Dean never mentions that the No Child Left Behind Act was not responsible for the Iraq War. Apparently he's in the grips of a theory holding that some issues are unrelated. Fortunately, Pickler is around to correct his thinking.

Like Nits, they have burrowed beneath the skin of our nation and released their poisons.

It is why the nations defenese mechanisms are so weakened and parasitized.

This is no coincidence, but a loosely affiliated and very well-funded conspiracy.
