GOP conspiracy theory unravels

Right-wing press still in denial. Just yesterday the Washington Times expressed concern that the Schiavo memo counseling Republicans was a Democrat plot. Today, the Washington Post reveals that, in fact, the author was a Republican aide:

"The legal counsel to Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) admitted yesterday that he was the author of a memo citing the political advantage to Republicans of intervening in the case of Terri Schiavo, the senator said in an interview last night.

Brian H. Darling, 39, a former lobbyist for the Alexander Strategy Group on gun rights and other issues, offered his resignation and it was immediately accepted, Martinez said."

So where do right-wing bloggers go from there? Probably to claiming that the Post is lying-- resignation or not.
