Maddow Tries to Rewrite History of Obama 'Ending the War' in Iraq

Remember the unhinged frequency with which liberals denounced George W. Bush for prematurely declaring "mission accomplished" in Iraq?

And now one of the left's most influential figures is trying to hide her role in the cheerleading. On her MSNBC show last night…

No Conflict Here: ABC, NBC Skip Ginsburg Cheering on Hillary

ABC and NBC on Monday and Tuesday ignored an obvious potential conflict of interest for Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
