Komen hasn't bent to political pressure from Planned Parenthood and its left-wing political allies - they've snapped like a toothpick.

February 2nd, 2012 5:27 PM
MSNBC has been mocked as MS-DNC and MS-LSD by conservative critics. But given the network's constant drum-beat against the Komen Foundation for its decision to cut off grants to Planned Parenthood affiliates, it might be sensible to rename the liberal cable outlet MS-D&C, after the abortion procedure.

Update: A former Santorum colleague at EPPC responds. [see bottom of post] Yahoo!
