Notwithstanding the imbroglio over his blog aggregator, I regularly call up Waldo's Virginia Political Blog Aggregator.
However, over the last few days, I've repeatedly come across, at or near the top, a post by Richmond Democrat, dated 27 December 2006 (two days ago, as I write) which beats up on an apparent teenager.
Anyway, anyone who posts knows (as I learned a few months ago) that a revision to a post causes it to re-post on the aggregator. However, with as many times as this has floated to the top, it appears that Richmond Democrat has been purposefully doing so in order to keep his little "scandal" claim at the top.
Congratulations, RD. You outed and beat up someone claiming to be a Conservative for claiming to have credentials he doesn't have. Big deal. To those of us with little regard for anonymous/pseudonymous bloggers, and who never defended the individual in question, you've accomplished very little, save for beating up on a teenager.
Now, if you spent as much time beating up on Democrats who posture as holding the line on taxes for electoral purposes, and then immediately try to raise taxes upon taking office, then I'd be really impressed....

The plot thickens...it appears the teenager is a 19 year old staffer and a Republican operative contacted the Old Dominion Blog Alliance to report that the "teen ager" was actually a "pawn" for a broader strategy....which the blog thought was spurious and did not disclose this broader strategy from some segment of the Republican party connected and using an Allen staffer.
So are the Republicans trying to discredit the VA blogosphere so that the Republicans can't be held accountable? Who knows what's behind their strategizing....Buzz...
Yeah, Mosquito. The Party of the Great Prevaricator should certainly continue to pursue a "guilt by association" strategy. We'll see how that works for you.
