There they go again. Batting the “L word” and the “G word” about the politosphere.
No, not those “L” and “G” words. This column is G-rated.
I’m talking, first, about the “L” word being trotted out by the Left, the Obama campaign, and even the mainstream media (a.k.a. the “MSM”) – in multiple languages, no less.

The term reared its ugly head in several quarters to describe Sarah Palin’s claim that she “told Congress thanks, but no thanks, to that Bridge to Nowhere.”

Wow is right. This columnist is the former main speechwriter for the Reagan/Bush 1984 campaign. So I would have to say that he’s definitely not from the left, and neither is NSWG, which is an equal opportunity news syndicate.
Then why does the site have Obama and Biden adds, including bumpersticker purchase options?
NSWG does not control the ads that appear on their site, which is provided by Google Ads.
