Recounting the positive reception the speech received, de Nies cooed, "But it was her personal touch that made the biggest impact."…

You see, Leonhardt didn't mean…

Truth to power? Give me a break.Mark Levin mentioned a report by McClatchy's Steven Thomma tonight on his show. When I heard Levin read from it, I assumed that when I went to the web page that McClatchy would label it as "analysis," or "background," or something similar.Nope.
