1. Thanks. Murray asking him, "fox guarding the henhouse?"

Brock counters nicely. He knows how the VRW conspiracy works.

2. Now fundie on, countering. Gore invented the Internet returns.

Brock had brought that up as an example of Gore being misquoted, widely and with impunity.

The Fundie of course insists that Gore did say something pretty close to that, therefore, it's all the same you know.

3. David Brock's new website...

Media Matters for America is pretty awesome, IMO...

4. I hope Brock stays in the public eye

because I have had a certain admiration for the man ever since he published <i>Blinded By the Right</i>. Since we hear so much from ex-liberals who've went far right, it's nice to hear from someone who's done the opposite.
