SPINSANITY ON SAFIRE: Following up on Ben Fritz's piece earlier this month on the way that pundits such as Paul Krugman and George Will had been spinning the Wesley Clark phone call story, Bryan Keefer of Spinsanity follows up with more examples of spinning on the same story, adding William Safire to the list of Lying in Ponds pundits they criticize.
