One of the more egregious offenders as we now know was Congressman Barney Frank. From September 9’s Wall Street Journal. At least the…
Setting aside for a moment matters of substance as well as my own preference in the presidential race, Senator Obama has to be saying to himself right about now, “Why didn’t someone tell me about this guy’s mouth?” Enter Joe Biden.

Sure, here we go – from the official website of the Democrat National Committee: an abiding faith in the judgment of hardworking American families, and a commitment to helping the excluded, the disenfranchised and the poor strengthen our nation by earning themselves a piece…
