P.S.--For the record, here's a sampling of how this story's being treated as of 8 pm:
--Fox News: On the front page of FoxNews.com.
--CNN: Not on the front page of CNN.com, not on the Ticker.
--Politico: Not on the front page of Politico.com; on Jonathan Martin's GOP-focused blog under the heading, "It's getting ugly out there."
--NY Times: Not on the front page of NYTimes.com, the front of the Politics page, or The Caucus.
--Drudge: top of the front page.
P.P.S.--This may be the only time I've ever agreed with Michelle Malkin.
P.P.P.S--Here's some Twittering that the alleged victim, Ashley Todd, did before and after the alleged attack. Todd's Twitter feed is now protected.
