Ezra Klein is wrong. Testosterone is not the source of McCain’s media love, says Adam Doster.
Dissent Of The Day
One among many:
Come on. She was acting as a public defender – a thankless, low paying job that’s absolutely essential for a free society. Of course she’s going to impeach a witness – even a young one – in a trial that, if it was like most sex crime trials, was largely a "he said, she said" affair in which her client risked the absolute ruin of his life. I am a staunch Obama supporter, and generally think Hillary is a slimy, Rovean scumbag with no agenda other than her own power (today’s "traditional dress" photo saga has raised my blood pressure several points.) There are, as you ably demonstrate, myriad proofs of this. The fact that she was once a public defender and therefore, gasp, defended someone, is not one of them.

The Clintons’ Tax Returns
On what grounds could they continue to withhold them from the public? Novak makes a useful point:
Clinton’s tipping point may have come when it was announced that her $5 million loan to her campaign came from a fund she shares with Bill Clinton. That puts into play for the general election business deals by the former president that transformed him from an indigent to a multimillionaire and might excite interest in their income tax returns, which the Clintons refuse to release.
Don’t the Dems need a candidate who is vetted properly?
Obama On Nader
My sense is is that Mr. Nader is somebody who, if you don’t listen and adopt all of his policies, thinks you’re not substantive. He seems to have a pretty high opinion of his own work.
The NYT Still Condescends
Even from that "quiet genius", Noam Cohen:
"[H]e operates a long way from the clichéd pajama-wearing, coffee-sipping commentator on the news."
And what’s so wrong about that? I’m happy for and proud of Josh as a fellow blog-pioneer. But they’ll remove my jammies and Kenya AA from my little rigid hands when I expire.

“I Recommend The Politics Of Fear”
Bill Kristol advises the Clintons in the tactics he knows so well. She followed his advice today. Here’s the Kristol quote:
One Slight Benefit Of Watching The Oscars
At least I’ll never be tempted to watch "Enchanted". Those songs and those routines were just beyond awful.
Clinton’s Spin On That African Photo
Maggie Williams denies there’s anything negative about it. But she doesn’t deny that the Clinton campaign was behind it. Ambers says they just don’t know. Meanwhile, Clinton calls Obama another Bush in foreign policy. But she voted for his Iraq policy and Obama opposed it.
