Timeline Update

Princess Sparkle Pony, the all-knowing Wonketter who broke the sort-of infamous Larry Craig/ hairy guy story -- see below for links -- said on the blog that the WP interviewed Phillips weeks before any of those sordid details (and the worst mental picture of our lives) leaked out. Leaked. Gross.

That might help Marc Fisher's case. He was most certainly unaware at the time of the interview and pushed the story through several weeks later without revisiting much of the material. It might be lazy, but it would not have been unethical or biased.

All I can do is wait for a response and wonder what would have happened if someone had ran a story about, oh say, the D.C. madam or one of her "escorts" in an unrelated story and had not mentioned their involvement in a steamy (ugh) sex scandal.
