Stop the presses! Lefty Alterman defends WSJ's Fund. Conservative Wall Street columnist John Fund may be one of those terrible right-wingers who picked on poor Bill and Hillary Clinton, but he is "not the kind of guy who pretends to want to marry women and then beats them up," wrote the "Nation's rabid leftie Eric Alterman.
