Miniblog: In which I am irked by NPR's political reporting

NPR (probably Steve Inskeep) just referred to Jay Rockefeller as being "in the liberal wing of his party."

That's true. If there's one thing us liberals love, it's companies getting paid in tax dollars to illegally eavesdrop on Americans, then using some of that money to pay Senators like Jay Rockefeller to get them off the hook. That is one of our core liberal values.

I also enjoyed the clip of Rockefeller praising Reid as a Good and Righteous public servant, unconcerned with how healthcare will affect his re-election. I have no doubt that is true.
