Another Day, Another All-Liberal Lineup at Morning Joe

Eugene Robinson: Believing Life Starts at Conception is 'Frankly Insan
There he goes again, unleashing that finely honed empathy.

Talk about irony. The front page of today's Washington Post featured a large photo of a Rick Santorum rally in New Hampshire, with two of MRC's "Don't Believe the Liberal Media!" signs front and center. That's nice, but perhaps the Washington Post should read its own front page more often.
Just days ago, a Post columnist personally and viciously attacked Senator Rick Santorum's family over…
