Hillary Clinton must be worried if she's willing to trot out a bottom-of-the-barrel dead-ender like Joe Conason to defend her.
Conason slithered onto the Morning Joe set today and it didn't take him long--quoting Winston Churchill--to compare Joe Scarborough to Nazis. Even then, Conason couldn't tell the truth, claiming Churchill hadn't been referring to Nazis, when he explicitly had.

What a shame: if only the economy in inner-city Baltimore had been better, the rioters would have had more name-brand stores to burn down.
On the Ed Show, Baltimore Pastor Jamal Bryant complained that because of economic "disenfranchisement," the rioters "could only find one anchor store in that neighborhood" to destroy.
It's enough to make a blogger in mom's basement spit out his Cheetos in surprise. On Morning Joe income redistributionist and global climate kvetcher Prof. Jeffrey Sachs praises the UK Conservatives for creating jobs via an austerity budget.
