Additionally, T.A.L. is produced by Chicago Public Radio. <br /><br />As this was already pointed out twice on Saturday, I'm coming to believe you, like Maddow, are reluctant to correct your own mistakes. Or perhaps, wisely, you just ignore your own comments section.sherrlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689553678430736101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-86801349610478665372012-03-19T14:44:24.593-04:002012-03-19T14:44:24.593-04:00On the great Gail Collins issue The Daily Howler c...On the great Gail Collins issue The Daily Howler continues to pull the plug and curse the darkness. <br /><br /> The issue of this one man shoe is fairly interesting. While I would have long ago dismissed the unfunny and idiotic writing of Gail Collins with no help from The Daily Howler, who knows, I might have been taken in by this fellows theater piece. Were the people who believed in it fools? Does the show reflect an actual truth bigger and more important than it's fabrications. Has this actor only given the world reason to dismiss legitimate issues concerning Apple and the abuse of workers? <br /> <br /> Sorry, at the Daily Howler all things lead back to Gail Collins. As the poster above reminds us, Rick Santorum has now latched on to dog story.

It's good this site is trying to aid Romney a little. Collins has got so many people to believe her changing versions of this story.

If she kept embellishing the tale to make Mitt seem like a strong, decisive, good-hearted leader, ready to take action to help people in need? Then a whole bunch of people would think she was just like Rush, indeed.<br />They would be parsing her lies with electron microscopes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
