Useful Idiots: Not News

Check out this Comic strip:

NRO "After this crap that the New Jersey Education Association - the state branch of the NEA - is pulling, I don't want to hear any more whining about "incendiary rhetoric" at the Tea Parties:"

Pledging to Repeal

National Review Online "GOP candidates are coalescing around an anti-Obamacare message." ....

Obama Administration Denies Visas to Israeli Nuclear Scientists

Pajamas Media "This could be yet another flashpoint in the increasingly sensitive relations between the administration, the American Jewish community, and Israel."

Jerusalem Post via Heritage. "Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had said he would be at the conference to underline the danger of terrorists acquiring nuclear weapons.

Obama's statesmanship is a gift that just keeps on giving. Republicans welcome Netanyahu's US trip cancellation "The American Politico website described Netanyahu's decision as "an embarrassing distraction on the eve of a high-profile meeting the White House has sought to carefully choreograph."

It is intended to vilify, not find fact: to shift the blame from congress to the industry executives who are trying to do their jobs in accordance with the law." Waxman again.
