Wonkette seeks help with "blind items" re. Rummy, reporter high on ecstasy

Wonkette: Senior Administration Official Guessing Game: MoDo’s Source


This afternoon’s Pentagon briefing brought Maureen Dowd’s latest column to our attention (because, truth be told, we don’t read her religiously). We came across the passage that Donald Rumsfeld was questioned about:

"One administration official says that Rummy does not hold the same sway in meetings anymore, that he’s treated as an eccentric old uncle who pops off and is ignored. But why can’t W. just quit him? Instead, the president praised him for doing 'a fine job' on two wars and transforming the military..."

Does anyone have information on which Administration official is feeding the dirt to MoDo?

And while we’re asking for your guesses on blind items, here’s one more, from yesterday’s NY Post Page Six (which several of you have already written to us about):

"Which political reporter attends so-called ‘circuit parties’ while flying high on ecstasy?"

Any guesses, for either or both items? Send ‘em our way ([e-mail]), along with your suppporting reasoning. Thanks!

3. Yeah! I am gonna help a BushCo operative like Wonkette

She has proven herself to me to be merely another outlet for BushCo propaganda. She viciously attacked Kerry and now she wants us to reveal information on a person telling the truth. Riiiight (Dr. Evil)!

Do your own frickin' dirty work!

9. Aren't two guys writing Ana Marie's column while she sells her book? nt

5. Question #2 - Matt Taibbi?

He's sort of a GenX Hunter S. Thompson - Spanking the Donkey is reminiscent of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.

6. Andy Card on the first, my money is always on him for leaking

and the reporter on ectasy? Shepard SMith?

7. Drudge is my guess for number 2. But you have to use reporter loosely.
