"They're not tell-they're not…

Typical of too many Northern based media outlets, Politico indulged in a little South-bashing today with a story on a remark about Pennsylvania spoken in 2006 by Clinton Democratic operative James Carville (pictured at right in file photo). In attempting to explain the political climate of the Keystone state, Carville basically said that state looked like Paoli (a suburb of Philadelphia) and Penn…

I hope the media gives this the legs it deserves.  It may be early in Hillary's career, but it gives a clear picture to the roots of her character and its quite disturbing stuff.Jerry Zeifman, the man who served as chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate hearings, comes out calling Hillary a career liar and says she wanted to deny Nixon the basic right to counsel!

Here's something you never hear from a Democrat: of all the cable networks, Fox News is doing the fairest job covering an issue.Yet, that's exactly what Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Penn.), an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter, said on "Fox & Friends" Monday.I kid you not.
