Littwin Truth Squad

This morning, Littwin writes about the hold on the no-call list. The column leaves the reader unclear as to where Littwin stands, although he seems to be, in some measure, blaming you and me for our addiction to phones and other wireless devices. The judge's phone number appears to be listed, by the way.

And so the Bush administration insists that while the ruling may apply to the FTC, it does not apply to the FCC, which can still enforce the law. We're awaiting word on the FTD and the ACC. And Karl Rove has a call in to the CIA.

And so it goes. In the space of 48 hours, this thing has gone from rumor, to claim, to established fact. Littwin will claim it's just a throwaway line in a column, but he knows better. No, this doesn't violate libel laws, but that's not the point.
