• November 1 -- Bush "Bulge" Rumor Takes Hold in "Dark Corners" -- Like the NYT?
Matt Bai laments in the Sunday Magazine: "A rumor that the president somehow cheated in the televised debates -- was that a wire under his jacket? was he listening to Karl Rove on a microscopic earpiece? -- flies across the Internet and takes hold in dark corners of the public imagination." And in the New York Times.

• November 4 -- Times Again Knee Deep In the Big Muddy
More "quagmire" at the Times.

• October 14 -- The Right's "Dr. Evil"
Times Magazine writer Matt Bai gets a peek into a strategy session held by conservative "godfather" Paul Weyrich and comes away very afraid: "The prickly Weyrich presided with a scowl from the dais…using words that made him sound like some liberal's parody of Dr. Evil."
