What’s laughable about this whole thread is that the posted article used as a “source” is the Atlantic, by far one the oldest of the partisan leftwing establishment publications!
Rush and Drudge have sources all over the world, of all sorts. So what?
Even the Atlantic gets a few right -- they wrote up the "blood diamond" trade 20 years ago, and they got the "pigs at the trough" Stockman interview that told us all about what Manor Bush was made of, and what they were making of the Reagan Administration. It was their access-capitalist slimepals that made first Bill Clinton, and then Barack Obama the President of the United States.
And we almost got Hillary, who'd have made Slick the first God Emperor of Earth -- if she could.
Once in a while they get a quote, just like rattlesnakes' rattles can occasionally do you a favor. And you want to burn a source just to poison the well for Rick Perry?
