Rebroadcasting Wild Exaggerations
Last week, I wrote about ThinkProgress‘s wild exaggeration about the number of states contemplating anti-immigrant legislation in the wake of the draconian new Arizona law. This morning, TPMMuckraker picks up the story — with “a major hat tip to ThinkProgress” — and rebroadcasts it, with an update. ThinkProgress‘s seven states are now up to ten. [...]
Oh, Joshie
Josh Marshall undersells it again: So, in Matt’s [Yglesias, not me unfortunately] thinking, its not so much poor appointments, its why Obama pulled sitting senators Clinton & Salazar into his cabinet and — perhaps even more important — took a number of governors or ex-governors Napolitano, Sebelius & Vilsack, who were well positioned for senate [...]

AEI’s Danielle Pletka has a post up on AEI’s blog playing up the ‘dueling speeches’ meme for the speeches President Obama [...]
Josh Marshall Rides Again
In keeping with our policy of giving TPM typo king Josh Marshall a shout-out whenever he produces a particularly note-worthy typo performance, here he is on Sunday with two typos in one short sentence: And party’s aren’t political cells or even clubs; they/re coalitions. This joins previously noted notable performances like a typo in each [...]
