I've seen in a couple of places on the internets (including from Ta-Nehisi Coates) that some groups are questioning Caribou Barbie's bona fides on anti-abortion issues. This should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the history of the French Revolution.
Jacobins FTW...
In other political blatheration news, there's been a lot o' screaming about some climate change e-mails. I first saw this over the weekend and I gotta admit when I saw that the list of people pushing the story (aka freaking out) included Malkin, Hot Air, etc I assumed it was a lot of sound & fury signifying nothing. Which, indeed, is what it seems to be. One might say that it's a failing to assume an argument is wrong based on who is making it. And I'd have to agree with that. On the other hand, context and history mean something. If you've demonstrated over time that you're a fucking moron, I'm probably gonna be (at least) skeptical of anything you say.
