“Feminist hero” being in quotes because the woman in question is Heidi Montag, of MTV’s pseudo-improvised reality series The Hills.  Montag tells US magazine that she is voting for Johnny Mac.  TIME magazine’s Ana Marie Cox (who else?) gets the reaction from Maverick himself. Knowing that the PW crowd is near-fusty in its strait-lacedness, I point you to pictures of the feminist in question for those of you unfamiliar with

The notion the McCain’s current “biography tour” is some form of race-baiting is so dumb that even Matt Stoller has admitted he was wrong about it (he is also wrong about the “history” he cites, but that’s a topic already addressed).  Yet Matthew Yglesias has been pushing the “soft” version of this idiocy at The Atlantic: Ed [Kilgore] notes the analogy to Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign, the last time the GOP

According to those at the meeting, Clinton – who flew in from Chicago with bags under his eyes – was classic old Bill at first, charming and making small talk with the 15 or so delegates who gathered in a room behind the convention stage.

Syndicated columnist David Sirota (of In These Times and most other fringe-Left outlets) claims that Hillary Clinton’s “last-ditch efforts to win the Democratic nomination could rely on the ‘Race Chasm’ and the trampling of democracy.” Promoting his column at OpenLeft, Sirota writes: In my newspaper column on Friday, I touched on a little-explored phenomenon in the 2008 presidential race.

TBogg pooh-poohs Zeifman’s claims that he fired Hillary for lying, insubordination and purloining documents, on the basis of a WaPo characterization of a book by Zeifman from 1996. Fortunately, Zeifman’s claims that 1) he fired her, 2) she requested a letter of recommendation and 3) that he denied her one ought all be susceptible of proof.
