Elizabeth Warren's narrative of being a descendant of the Cherokee people emboldened Warren not only to consider herself Native American, but also to identify with the most victimized of the victimized. One doesn't have to be a scholar of Native American history to know of the Trail of Tears. ...

Throughout her career and political campaign, Elizabeth Warren has found victims everywhere she looked, including when she looked in the mirror and saw an alleged descendant of one of the most historically victimized groups, Native Americans. In what may be the ultimate and cruelest irony, not only is it...

Rick Santorum has endorsed Mitt Romney via an overnight e-mail sent to supporters.  Here's the link to the e-mail (h/t Politico). Is there an endorsement in there someplace? Yeah, I guess there is, but it's buried in paragraph 13 and half-hearted: Above all else, we both agree that President...
