...it's becoming ever more apparent that real power within the GOP rests with the ranting talk-show hosts. ...Suddenly, the takeover of the Republican Party by right-wing extremists has become a story (although many reporters seem determined to pretend that something equivalent is happening to the Democrats.

Mark Whitaker, head of the NBC News DC bureau, got off today's laugh line when he described Barack Obama as having "lifted himself up from the streets of Hawaii." Oh those mean streets of Hawaii. You know, the sort pictured here at the Punahou school that Obama attended from 5-12th grade. While attending Punahou, Obama lived with his grandparents. His ill grandmother has been in the news lately. But how many readers are aware that grandma Dunham was . . . a vice-president of the Bank of Hawaii? View video here.
