The Post has just posted a .pdf of the ‘Schiavo talking points’ written by one of Sen. Martinez’s staffers and distributed to senate Republicans.

Of course, if Mike Allen were even a half-way decent journalist he would have correctly identified these not as ‘Republican talking points on the Schiavo case’ but rather as ‘a series of bullet points written on plain, unmarked white paper by a senior staffer from Sen. Martinez’s office who, as far as we know, was not operating under a direct order from the senator to write talking points about the Schiavo case which stated what a good political issue the Republicans thought it was before the first round of polls came back.’

Kurtz and Kaus, take it away.
