Kathleen Parker Anoints Hillary To 'Save The World

Scarborough Slags Off Conservative Bloggers: Cellar Dwellers In PJs Wr

Joe Scarborough has yet again scaled his soap box to mock those of us in the conservative blogosphere.  He described us today as a bunch of "very stupid people" living in their mama's basement who write "really stupid things" about him.

Morning Joe Fails To ID Filner As Dem, Features Photo Of Him With Repu

If a Republican were ensnared in a sex scandal, do you think MSNBC would have failed to mention his party and instead featured a photo of him with a smiling Nancy Pelosi?  But the "Lean Forward" network might well have hoodwinked unwary viewers this morning into thinking that Democrat Bob Filner is a Republican.
