Huffington Post?
When is the last time you heard anybody acting like they cared about the Huffington Post? That flash in the pan fizzled fast, didn’t it?
The Most Important Karl Rove Question
Now that “the source” of the Valerie Plame leak has been discovered in Karl Rove, everything should be clear, right? So, why is Judith Miller in jail for not revealing Karl Rove’s name? Could it be that Karl Rove isn’t “the source?” This question would get in the way of the partisan attacks from the [...]
Democrat Neck-Stretching Over Rove
It is very interesting to watch so many representatives of the Democratic Party trying to make a scandal out of Karl Rove and the Valerie Plame affair. Every time they think they have an issue, they race to see who can stick their necks out the furthest. This time is no different. The only detail [...]
