I was scratching my head over this as well last night, when O’Reilly told Dick Morris that the media was doing this to goose Democrat donations. But why would Democrats donate more if they saw Obama way ahead in the polls? I’d just keep my wallet in my pocket, having better things to do with the money.

Chief Spreading Bull

…eviscerated:

Senator Brown has targeted Mrs. Warren’s phony claims of “Indian” heritage; her $350,000-plus salary at HLS; her work for an insurance company in matters involving (yikes) asbestos; and other trivia. What he hasn’t said and probably won’t say: she is a nag. A scold. An ideologue. An advocate of a nanny state beyond a Swedish socialist’s wildest imagination. A bureaucratic Bruegel who paints an America of victims — pathetic figures in a landscape of unremitting hostility. Also, Professor Warren is an economic idiot.

That’s why the Left worships her.
