Quote of the Day
You’d be surprised at the things people will do in order to get their names or pictures in the paper.

All the President’s … Men(?)
Roger Simon has piece over at PJ Media comparing Susan Rice to … I’ll let Mr. Simon speak for himself:
Forget G. Gordon Liddy and the White House plumbers of Watergate days. If you’re looking for a my-president-right-or-wrong apparatchik in the grand tradition of the Soviet Union, willing to do anything for her leader, look no further than former national security adviser Susan Elizabeth Rice.
Who knows? It may be that the comparison is apt, and Ms. Rice will have a career in talk radio after she has finished dealing with the aftermath of her actions working for President Obama.
