Is a flame-engulfed theater not really burning if only one person yells "fire"?

That is Rove's talking point of the week, which he has been even more successful than usual at instantly massaging into the brains of our somnambulant media.

"Mainstream media", that is - not like the bright Lindsay Beyerstein at Majikthise, who of course calls it like it is: Russ Feingold's "preemptive strike against would-be collaborators in his own party" will prove to be the Agincourt rallying cry that calms the shivering knees and restores resolve to the hearts of his congressional band of brothers and sisters - and that happy few along with the rest of us will know to whom credit for the victory belongs.
