Was Power Line Hacked? (Wizbang)

Have you taken a look at Power Line in the past few hours? This the header of the second post:

And that's followed by an entire body of the same thing.

But note this:

Hidden inside all the Mitt Romneys is Jerry Ford's Last Laugh, the title of the post I linked to here. The whole post, the whole site essentially, has been taken over and hidden by a million Mitt Romneys.

Update: Power Line is back to normal again.

Update II: The perp has fessed up and it's not who you think.

FYI: Yahoo! has a better site cache system than Google, I found most of today's post for Powerline there and copied and sent to them.

Raality, Powerlineblog is so far above your thinking, I can understand your disdain for it.

Simple minds detest hard thinking.

Publicus:

So the answer to "Was Powerline Hacked?" is no.

Reminds me of an earlier non-incident...

As I recall, the answer to "Who Hacked Joe Lieberman's Website" was "nobody."
