Pathetic Last Resort: When Jeb and Mitt Are Your 2016 Saviors
Joan Walsh, Salon
Walsh writes: "Am I the only one who thinks someone stupid enough to send Karl Rove a personal email that at least smacks of an effort at illegal campaign coordination is too stupid to be president - and maybe even to remain as governor?
