Funny how much of the left consider Bradley Manning a "whistleblower" but seem to regard Snowden as a traitor. Hmmm.....

Let's face it. Rice is either crooked or feckless. In my mind, this makes ineligible for public service. It does, however, make her uniquely qualified to be in this administration.

I think Martin Bashir is right. Because if a white president's administration was using the IRS to silence politcal opponents, I'd be COMPLETELY ok with it.

maybe we could find a middle ground, where out of wedlock births are discouraged as the stupid and injurious thing to children that they are, but stop short of the bad treatment unwed mothers suffered in the past?

The guy's name was Rich, I think.

Agreed- the best turn of a phrase I've seen in some time.

PS, Paolo, I never saw you post in support of Fast and Furious whistleblowers...

Bradley Manning is not a whistleblower, he is a pisqueak malcontent who broke his oath in a temper-tantrum because he thought he was being mistreated. A real whistleblower, if so inclined, would give specific documents to a reputable news agency. His indiscriminant dumping of basically any documents he could put his hands on to site where some really bad people have access to it did naught but put the lives of soldiers who are, unlike him, doing their duty. The front line soldiers do NOT make policy, and the overwhelming majority of them have never commtted a "war crime". Yet they are the ones shouldering the risk of what Manning did.

Am I the only one who would like to wipe that smirk off Stepanie Cutter's face?

Organized labor has been largely silent on immigration. That's because they know that this cheap labor is hurting their members, but they are positively drooling over the prospect of organizing this huge pool of of new, gullible workers.

My high school age kids tell me how their classmates like to dump on Sarah Palin. I told my oldest to ask them what Palin has done or espouses that they disagree with. A very small minority can come up with the fact that she is pro-life; to date no one has even a clue of specifics of her beliefs. My daughter usually ends these encounters with "what you know about Sarah Palin you learned from Tina Fey"
