Sorry, stopped reading right there. Respected? He is becoming something of a joke. Respected by anyone outside Manhattan or the DC Beltway? No. And it was an opinion piece, which is no more/less credible or relevant than a blog.

Pretending it is news is laughable.

Thank you for the link. If I hadn't been on a tight schedule, I'd have done greater "due diligence" myself. I should have waited until today to post something.

As far as the source is concerned, posting a right-wing bloggers ideas on the subject is no less legitimate than the the original post in this thread which was an opinion piece by a left-wing hack.

In fact, I'd say it is a perfect balance.

Besides, the words I quoted were not the blogger's, but this man's.
Lawrence Solomon Hardly, a disreputable source.

I will admit, I got a bit lazy. That'll teach me.
