MSNBC's Maddow: Sotomayor Is, Isn't An Affirmative Action Nominee
Norah O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow can't seem to make up their minds.

MSNBC's Scarborough: Media Are Obama's Adoring Adolescent Fans
Here’s a shocking statement about the behavior of the White House Press Corps at the Correspondent’s Dinner: “What I saw the other night was like a bunch of teenage girls waiting for a Bay City Rollers concert, ready to scream at their the top of their lungs.”The content of this statement is not nearly so shocking, however, as who said it – a member of the media, one Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. …
