(7,044 posts)the really weird thing is I just landed on Rush 'DraftDodger' Limbaugh's blovicast (R) a few minutes ago while out driving, and he was PRAISING the NYT and loving them up because they did a story on the Clinton Foundation.

Is the New York Times being guest edited by Rush Limbaugh? Today it runs with a fascinating takedown of the Clinton Foundation that vast vanity project that conservatives are wary of criticising for being seen to attack a body that tries to do good. But the liberal NYT has no such scruples. The killer quote is this:
