Greenwald throws Nate Silver a 102mph fast-ball up and in
Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 03:10 PM by angelicwoman
Greenwald observes how the most progressive Democrats are often called "crazy," then links to an article Nate Silver wrote called "The Myth of Reconciliation," arguing how impossible and bad this strategy would be. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/12/insidious-myth-of-reconciliation.html

I went to the fivethirtyeight website today and it looks like Silver has been very, very quiet after President Obama himself announced his intention to use the strategy.

Greenwald also ripped his Salon.com colleague Mark Benjamin for comparing Alan Grayson to Michelle Bachmann, calling both "crazy."

2. Memo to poster: Greenwald, like Helen Thomas, is no longer PC here. Too liberal.
They dared to question the policies of "our" guy in the White House rather than kiss the hem of his robes.
