Ever notice that the Conservative Approach to killing a negative story on Bush is nearly always, "nothing new here."

Lefty bloggers are in titters over a Fox News article about the Downing Street Memo; an article in which I was one of those interviewed.

Kelley Vlahos of Fox News called me last week to comment on the Downing Street Memo, having seen my story on the memo - Secret Downing Street Memo Fails To Sizzle. Several readers had queried me as to why conservative bloggers were not reporting on the story, and not wanting to disappoint I had a look at the story. It turns out that the story broke in the heat of the British election and had been promptly forgotten. Scant attention was paid to the memo in the major media, though it did merit three separate mentions in The New York Times prior to my article. My contention, and that of New York Times Washington Bureau chief Phil Taubman, the British government, and the White House, and others, is that there wasn't anything particularly new to be learned from the memo. Given the lack of new information in the memo the collective yawn from American media outlets is hardly surprising.
