Drum vs Brooks
Posted from The Daily Dish | By Andrew ... 6 hours ago
Pretty much my feeling about the column this morning: Brooks is a conservative who admires McCain, so I suppose even this level of criticism is sort of admirable. Still, the passive-voice construction of the entire column really grates. Bloggers are... (original story)

More Cross-In-The-Dirt News
Posted from The Corner 6 hours ago
There appears to be a growing consensus in the pro-Obama blogosphere that John McCain didn't steal the cross-in-the-dirt story from Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
