BLOG OWNERS::: Who so Patrick Ruffini and what is he doing...

[Ioo]

Okay this may take a little info... If you have a blog, you know you are always looking for spam, I see all the refrences to patrickruffini.com and I click to go see what the hell is this place...

It is the webmaster of Bush-Cheney 2004 website, some robo Republican I guess. He is tracking news and blog posts, and attaching them to people, like my post on the Downing Street Memo, he cataloged under Rice

Anyway I am not sure what this guy is doing, but... I wanted to give ya a heads up...

Here is his "tracking" page...

White House Declines to Dispute the Downing Street Memo

Eric Brewer: Scott, last week you said that claims in the leaked Downing Street memo that intelligence was being fixed to support the Iraq War as early as July 2002 are “flat-out wrong.” According to the memo, which was dated July 23, 2002, and whose authenticity has not been disputed by the British Government, both Foreign Minister Jack Straw and British Intelligence Chief Sir Richard Dearlove said that the President had already made up his mind to invade Iraq. Dearlove added that “intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” Do you think these two very senior officials of our closest ally were ‘flat-out wrong?’ And if so, how could they have been so misinformed after their conversations with George Tenet and Condoleezza Rice?

8. I wonder if the Bush administration is keeping track of dissents

Shades of Dick Nixon. I wonder if liberal bloggers are on an Repug enemies list.
