"ERIC ALTERMAN, LIKE ARSENIC, IS AN ACQUIRED TASTE."

What a great line -- great post, thanks! Where do guys like MSNBC find guys like Alterman? Do they deliberately look under rocks?

"Micturation" -- wonderful! It's like finding a dollar bill lying on the sidewalk -- Thanks, Larry! Great, great post!

Interesting article,but the author is wrong in one premise. Being a Soviet communist spy does NOT mean you are not also a "Democrat to the bone".In fact,it could be considered to be additional evidence.
