CNN On Obama’s Coal Statement? Eh. Months Old

November 3, 2008 – 9:48 am

I’m Glad Joe Klein Could Do Research On Rashid Khalidi

October 31, 2008 – 8:44 am

I’d ask “what is with the MSM,” but, we all know the answer: in da tank Herewe have the McCain campaign’s execrable Michael Goldfarb slinging around accusations of anti-semitism–a favorite pastime, as we’ve seen this year, among Jewish neoconservatives.
