Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, who should know better, was caught by an open mic yesterday making demonstrably false statements — Sarah Palin is “no genius,” for example.
Rendell also said that Arizona Governor and Homeland Security Secretary-nominee Janet Napolitano is perfect for the job because she has no family, “no life” and can devote “literally 19, [...]

Fussy Right-Wing Muckraker Reacts Predictably to Powell Endorsement of Obama
Reputed double-minority Matt Drudge has the red headlines up at his site.

Tomorrow the Media Will Love Sarah Palin

UPDATE…here’s the video:
