Newt's Victim Card Is a Joker

Michael Sigman | Posted 04.04.2012

The trouble for Newt is that the victim strategy has no exit strategy. Having embarked on the trail of "You started it, Mitt"/"you're a big bully, Mitt," Newt hasd to project his own massive flaws onto others ever more hyperbolically.

Lee Stranahan | Posted 05.25.2011

"The List" of Journolist Participants is Fake

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

Cenk Uygur

If the liberal media is so strong, as the right claims it to be, then how come all of the liberals in the country don't have as much influence as just Glenn Beck? That's really painful to write, but clearly true.
