    Lawyers for former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez are urging a judge to be lenient at his sentencing later this month for his conviction on bribery charges, saying the ordeal has made him a “national punchline” despite a lifetime of good deeds that have saved lives.

    To cleanse the palate, a long-distance dedication to all the liberals on Twitter who’ve spent the day insisting that Solyndra’s a non-story and that the media’s coverage is a product of “right-wing bullying.” (Read James Pethokoukis to see why.) I asked Jake Tapper which right-wing bully is responsible for making Brian Ross and the ABC crew do dozens of stories about this, but he’s being characteristically cagey. A better question: Which dastardly conservative blackmailed Stewart, hero of the left, into doing this segment? Could it be Breitbart?
