Holy crap! Parade Magazine's Walter Scott is really . . .

Edward Klein -- yes the one who wrote the anti-Hillary Clinton screed!
(Is this common knowledge - I just found out.)

I'm not kidding when I say that I often get a kick out of checking that column every week to see if there are any "right-leaning" comments, which I've noticed more and more. In particular, it's gotten really protective of Shrubco over the last few years. Now I know why!

Anyway, sorry if I'm a little late to the game on this one, but if anyone wants proof:

3. posted at the same time!

Great minds, etc

That's right, Conason outed him. Wasn't that an hysterical inteview. Between the two of them, they cleaned klein's clock. I think the transcript is over at media matters.

4. I loved hearing Klein whining ...

"did my publisher know Joe Conason was going to be on too?"

he got his ass handed to him and started whining worse than my 2 year old ever does.

7. That cracked me up.

What the hell did it matter if Conason was going to be on or not? What's that got to do w/the price of hay? Klein wrote a bunch of crap, he gets called on it & cries that Conason is on. Did he honestly think Franken couldn't have mopped the floor with him on his own?

2. It was mentioned on Franken's show.

I can't remember who the guest was who outed him. Blew me away. Scott is such a right-wing, holier-than-thou shithead. I don't know why I read it since I never look at car accidents.

5. I didn't know that

but I've known for years that Parade is largely a right-leaning publication. I recycle it immediately on Sunday mornings.
