Professor William Jacobson Given the Treatment by Fecal Matters

by Smitty Media Matters went after Legal Insurrection, reports Prof. Jacobson: Doesn’t Media Matters, with all its new Soros money, have anything better to do than take my posts out of context?

Michele Bachmann is an accomplished woman — a former federal tax attorney, mother of five, longtime conservative activist — but evidently not a specialist in colonial history or New England geography.
