CNN Distorts Palin Comments From Its OWN Interview With Her

Slate Editor NOW Upset at Constant Obama Fundraising Emails
Dahlia Lithwick, a Slate senior editor, is newly miffed at the constant Obama fundraising emails she's received. Oh, she didn't mind them as the campaign was going on, she says, but now that Big "O" is fairly elected, Lithwick is tired of them.

Shuster Tries To Pick Palin-Jindal Fight
The next presidential election might be four years off, but it's never too early to sow dissension in Republican ranks. So would appear to be David Shuster's creed.
