I thought this was going to be about when MoDo made light of Jug Ears’ jug ears.

Geez, I didn't know that LL-Lloyd Grove was still around.

Figures he'd be spewing for The Daily Beast...

This Muslim, on the down-low poser, disrespects himself.

Thank you sir may I have another?

“He’s the leader of the band of fellow travelers. The guy is inarguably the best at what he does, but in the end, look what he did.”

He’s the lefts version of Karl Marx Rove.

Just another two-bit political wonk with a book to sell. I'll put it on my "don't forget to miss this one" list.

...And the reality is, how do you handle it when it gets really, really rough, when you’re under constant scrutiny, when everything you say becomes an issue?

With 0bama, who will ever know? If he'd had that sort of scrutiny during the '08 campaign he'd never have been elected. We now know, for example, that Ted Cruz had a trunk full of beer in high school and Scott Walker looked bored in certain college classes he took, but not where the sitting President was born. That sort of thing gives a reporter earnestly committed to All The Truth when it comes to one party and All The Protection when it comes to the other a very suspect reputation.

As for Dowd, she wasn't much help when it came to transparency during 0bama's campaigns either. If now there is squabbling in the playpen it really isn't our problem.
