... at those who haven't yet, as they say, gotten over it re: Maddow's handling of the Hillbama wars.
msnbc -- including consummate journalist Rachel Maddow -- absolutely savaged Hillary Clinton throughout the primaries, but for some reason that's the one media critique that's off the table (to be fair, I recall you mentioned it once, in the post where you slammed Bill Clinton for comparing Obama's candidacy to Jesse Jackson's).
Heaven forbid someone critique media or political figures when all they did was propagate lies about a major Democratic candidate a whole three months ago!
Boy, you really have to be some foil-hatted wacko in a cave somewhere to reach back that far for such trivialities as media dishonesty during the current election season.
Somerby has a good word for people who propelled RFK-gate -- liars -- or, rather, in the Howler's incomprably discreet way, people who were "not telling the truth."

Thank goodness Maddow reserved her lying for the one Democratic political figure who is beneath contempt, the one whom "liberal" bloggers like John Cole mocked for "playing the victim card" for defending herself against completely manufactured allegations.
I am chagrined for bringing it up.
