Is It Too Much To Ask That People Read The Wikipedia Entry To Which They Link?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 16, 2010 10 Comments

I expect it from TPM, which is peddling an overblown tape of Christine O'Donnell questioning -- in 1996 -- whether there had been a fair investigation of Vince Foster's 1993 death. TPM tries to make a big deal out of this, but as even Matthew...

“What’s up w/obsession about O’Donnell’s opinions on sex?”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 16, 2010 13 Comments

Tweet of the Day.Kirsten Powers gets it. Once again, the mainstream media and left-wing blogosphere -- including liberal feminists -- are sexualizing a conservative female candidate.
