I’d like to proudly point out (to no one in particular) that I have not renewed my subscription to the AJC…and I don’t miss one solitary thing about not getting it.

Reading about Jay Bookman’s column just reminded me that I can actually exist without reading his or Tucker’s meandering attempts at cogent thoughts.

Bookman once wrote that “doubt” was the basis of democracy. When I pointed out that freedom was the basis of democracy he replied that “doubt was the basis of freedom and therefore the basis of democracy.

Who benefits from this phony memo?

a) Martin: If Chambliss had believed it he would have turned his attention to attacking Buckley and not Martin, which would have helped Jim. Having it shown to be a fake distracts Chambliss and Buckley as people point fingers.

b) Buckley: If Chambliss had attacked him it would have raised his profile and made him appear to be in the hunt which would benefit him. With a proven fake, Buckley gets lots of free press as people wonder why he might be attacked.

c) Chambliss: Given that the memo would quickly and easily be found to be phony, Saxby benefits from having attention drawn to who the source might be. People are unlikely to think it’s Saxby and thus direct attention toward Martin or Buckley.

The lengths the prankster went to make the memo appear legit make me think it was a political operative. Where’s Morton Brilliant these days?
