I bet the reaction would be quite different if NY Times columnist Charles M. Blow mocked religious Jewish undergarments the way he mocked religious Mormon undergarments in this tweet (h/t Jim Geraghty): But then again, he's a NY Times columnist with a long history of foul hyperbole directed at the Tea...

So it's okay.  (h/t Terri in Tip Line) The point is not that there's anything wrong with it, but the hypocrisy (which applies even more to Romney) is dripping, considering how Newt was raked over the coals for a video with Nancy Pelosi which did not...

John Hinderaker at Power Line lays the blame for an eventual loss to Obama primarily at the feet of Newt: Nevertheless, if you are a Republican, the vibes are very bad. The presidential primary season has turned into a disaster, in my view. Mitt Romney has shown...
