Here We Go Again; NBC's Wolffe Claims GOP Criticism of Susan Rice Raci
It’s one thing for a leftist pundit to appear on MSNBC and smear Republicans as racist and bigoted.

Arianna Huffington Uses the Onion to Support Anti-Petraeus, Anti-'the
In her "Sunday Roundup" post at the site which bears her last name, Arianna Huffington supported that notion that "This week, America finally began questioning the judgment of its generals," but lamented that the scrutiny is over "sexual conduct rather than military conduct."
