I'm pretty sure his "Grapevine" stories are mostly directly from blogs.

But given that this blog's observation was made on numerous well-read blogs, and given that they read blogs, it's also possible they picked it up here. And if it's possible, man, <strong>I'm runnin' with it</strong>! Direct pipeline to FNC, baby! I mean, it’s totally possible, of course.

Now that strikes me as a fair description of old Olberman himself who seems to be channeling his inner Edward R. Murrow fantasies these days. But couulllld it beeee? as the late Jim Healy said, that Chris Wallace and Brit Hume are but monkeys to Potterico's organ grinder? Don't think so; those guys are good, and they do it on their own.
