THIS IS HOW THE RIGHT-WING MEDIA WORKS

Drudge uses a few highly-selective photographs to suggest Kerry had botox, and floats them on his website for a couple of days.

Then...

Political gossip columnists like Lloyd Grove (formerly of the Washington Post, now with the New York Post) pick up the story and give it "legitimacy".

Soon Kurtz will chime in. Brit and the boys from "Special Report" have probably already given their two cents. Wolf and Woodruff will follow shortly thereafter.

Maybe I'm too cynical. But the Gore-ing of Kerry is about to hit its stride.

The worst part is that Ralph Nader may compound the problem by identifying the problem as being that Kerry is "too centrist".
