The New York Times - Brave Class Warriors for the Establishment, Always Willing to Miss the Point

Via Thers I see that Rox noticed that one of the most despicable of the team of stalkers smearing the Frosts on behalf of Dear Leader suggested that the Frosts have too many children and draws the only conclusion that can reasonably be drawn.   

Susie points us to NYT glomming on to the RWNM's smearing and stalking of the Frost family, giving the GOP a hand up as they allow McConnell to jump right off the hook that Digby (there's a blogger the NYT could pay attention to every once in a while) put him on:   

Republicans on Capitol Hill, who were gearing up to use Graeme as evidence that Democrats have overexpanded the health program to include families wealthy enough to afford private insurance, have backed off.

An aide to Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, expressed relief that his office had not issued a press release criticizing the Frosts.

So they didn't openly smear the middle class, tragedy-stricken Frosts and their sick children via a traditional press release.   Quel suprise.   That's Daou's Triangle in action.  The question is was McConnell's office the office that contacted reporters with Malkin et al's slime?   And if not, then which Republican Congressional leadership aide did the pimping of this trash - trash that's significant enough to warrant a Political Memo in the NYT.  Who cares?!  The only thing that matters is that now this story has created plausible deniability for McConnell and a whole lot of distance between the GOP and the snarling beasts that do its bidding.
