Hello there,
1) Your dim comprehension of WP:SELF is to blame. The intention of WP:SELF is to prevent Wikipedia articles from citing each other as verifiable sources. Verifiability should always go back to the source, and never otherwise. See discussion there for further edification.
It has nothing to do with Wikipedia related-incidents occuring within articles. 
2) This was a relatively major occurence to Meehan and went to the larger issue of Congressional Staffer Edits. Press coverage should be proof enough. *Shrug*. Sorry its not, for you.
3) You've just repeated yourself in order to inflate your position. Please reread above item.
4) You've not only repeated yourself for a third time, but you've ignored the hundreds of press articles—each representing vast blocks of people who do care.

Your rant is completely unintelligible. The section in question is not a schizophrenic chronology of Meehan's toothpaste usage, as you'd like us to believe. It was a major press event that Meehan himself felt significant enough to release a press statement on. Had his staff broke into the New York Times and made these revisions, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

It all comes down to your misapplication of WP:SELF. Expect my presence at Norm Coleman soon.
