WashPost TV Critic Pans PBS Documentary on 'Superhero' Bill Clinton

On Sunday, Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever panned this week’s four-hour PBS documentary on Bill Clinton as an “honest but sometimes tediously predictable exercise.” The large headline on the front of Sunday Style read “Enough time has passed for a documentary on Bill Clinton.

Yes, Rachel Maddow, Scott Walker Balanced Wisconsin Budget Without Rai

Liberals love to harp on what they perceive as Republican failure. What they truly loathe is Republican success. A fine example of this predictable dynamic can be seen in MSNBC's febrile coverage of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and his efforts to turn around the Badger State's disastrous finances.
