Scott McClellan’s new kiss and tell memoir is the talk of the town. And it ain’t pretty for poor ole Scott.
You have to admire, at least a little, the fact that he KNEW they were going to ballistic on him the minute this dropped. Maybe I’ve just always pitied the pudgy bastard…

Looks like the Right-Wing FUD Factory Freedoms Watch is not doing too well these days…
(Read article on TPMMuckraker)

When Ari Fleischer (Dissembler Extraordinaire) was trotted out as the face of Freedoms Watch, they had the UFC swagger of Tito Ortiz. Now, they look a little bit more like Horseshack on Celebrity Boxing getting smacked around by […]

Ezra Klein posted this video which could not point out any more lucidly the staggeringly craven hypocrisy of the Frost Family/S-CHIP “outrage” currently dominating the blogosphere.

As Ezra rightly points out, no one staked out their house to verify the story; nobody questioned the family’s qualifications for their suffering; no one smeared this poor girl who’s […]
