Sometimes I wake up in the morning ashamed that I share the same name with the ultra liberal Time Magazine commentator Joe Klein. This is one of those mornings.

They’re the enemy of anybody who cares about health care in this country, the enemy of anybody who cares about educating their children, the enemy of everybody who wants energy independence, anything … good for this country. And they’re certainly the [...]
TV Newser reports that ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather has weighed in on the Obama Administration’s attacks on the Fox News Channel. Given the example of Glenn Beck interviewing Ann Coulter about Rush Limbaugh, Rather said,
