I meant to hit this story yesterday. It also exemplifies the problems I’ve posted about in the past when it comes to MSNBC. Markos and Joe Scarborough got into a little Twitter back and forth a couple of months ago: JoeNBC: The Sestak story is as unbelievable a cover story as Nixon throwing little Checkers […]
Of all people, it looks like McCain may have just lost David Frum. They key point from his post: Here’s I fear the worst harm that may be done by this selection.

Gee these people are saints even when they leave the administration: World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz acknowledged Thursday that he erred in helping a close female friend get transferred to a high-paying job, and said he was sorry. His apology didn’t ease concerns among the bank’s staff association, which wants him to resign. The growing […]
