Hillary: The Audacity of Hypocrisy

Ben Smith points out that for all Hillary's petulant and politically motivated whining about Precondition-Gate (Obama's "hopeocrisy"), in the words of three-year-olds everywhere, SHE STARTED IT.

Tom Segev: Scandal in the Third Grade

I don't get why they can't just use the SAME textbook (translated, of course) for both the Hebrew and Arabic versions. Isn't that, er, the essence of objectivity (the veil of ignorance and all that jazz)?

The Right Wing's New Darling: Hillary Clinton

Story gives a nice run-down of gushing winger quotes about Hillary's cleavage... oops, I mean, her foreign policy cold-cock of Barack Obama at last Monday's youtube debate...

Ice Ice Baby

So implausible that it just might work!

Just Go Away, John Yoo

One day he will show up on youtube being tarred and feathered by a Berkeley mob... or is that another lost art of the 1960s?

Sarkozy's Historical Blind Spot

It's one of the first peeps of serious criticism I've heard about Sarkozy since his triumph at the polls, and it's a trenchant one. (Yet there are surely much grislier hunks of red meat he could be throwing to the ravenous followers of Le Pen.)

SacBee Savages Feinstein for Hillary-Like Grandstanding

The opening salvo of DiFi's 2012 presidential campaign?

Eco-Kosher Movement Gains Momentum

The Green virus infects the 5000-year-old world of Jewish ritual... ("notoriously drafty churches" indeed -- that's a liberal media slam against religion, right?)
