CNN busted for representing as a regular, undecided “swing voter” a woman who served as the Arkansas Democrats’ director of political affairs.

me: “Reagan famously noted that hippies ‘look like Tarzan, walk like Jane, and smell like Cheetah,’ correct?” YAF tour guide: “That’s true. But he was being flip.
