(*and cheat on his wife?) Earlier today in my morning links, I wrote briefly about Bill Clinton’s latest big fib, this one about how he supposedly was against the Iraq war “from the start,” but wanted to devote a post solely to the issue this evening, because Bubba has been in the news alot today, [...]

Yes, I know it’s hard to believe, but the left’s favorite sockpuppet, Glenn Greenwald (who has a couple of NYT “bestsellers,” dontcha know), has developed an obsession of sorts for making sure other people get their facts straight before posting/publishing them.
