Powerline and The Agora have been doing good work on another possible document scandal. ABC reported obtaining a GOP talking points memo, supposedly circulated by Republicans. It includes these items:
This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue.
This is a great political issue, because Senator Nelson of Florida has already refused to become a cosponsor and this is a tough issue for Democrats.
Not exactly finger prints on a murder weapon, though it does make the Republicans look like they're exploiting a tragedy for political gain. But now ABC is apparently backing off any implication that the memo was authored by Republicans.
And then there is this from the New York Times' article describing the Schiavo issue on the Senate floor:
As tensions festered among Republicans, Democratic aides passed out an unsigned one-page memorandum that they said had been distributed to Senate Republicans. "This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue," the memorandum said.
This looks a whole lot like a dirty trick by Senate Democrats.
