This article does not hit any issues of importance in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Instead it repeats 'on-the-bus' style reporting about a candidate being late for events.

Having worked on campaigns and been married to a campaign scheduler, I understand how many candidates are frequently late and how that has no relevance.

This could be a big important story, or it might be unimportant. How do we know? Well, if there was more information about The Office of Special Counsel, or about the head of the office, we might be able to tell.
