With Al Due Respect, We’re Doomed

Liberals in Love
I enjoyed reading this interview with Bernard Goldberg, author of A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media. “This is not the same old, same old. They jumped the shark this time. They really took sides and they didn’t care who knew it. That’s different from anything that happened in the past.”


Undiscovered Sampler
