Michele Bachmann: Not Palin’s Clone
The media was forced to learn an important lesson on Monday night: not all conservative women are the same.

Weiner Makes Lewd Comments to Female Reporter, But It’s Ok Since He’s Liberal
If you’ve followed the ordeal of Rep. Anthony Weiner and his recent Twitter issues, the story seems to get more bizarre by the day.
