David S. Broder / Washington Post:
The Other Democrats Weigh In  —  The good news for the nation's Democrats is that neither of the supposed front-runners for the party's 2008 presidential nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, stole the show when all 10 of the likely contenders spoke last weekend to the Democratic National Committee.

David Broder Libels Democrats  —  David Broder, the most insider of Washington insiders, perpetuates a lie and smears the Democratic party in "reporting" on this past weekend's meeting of the DNC. … That's just a boldfaced lie by Broder, no two ways about it.

Joe Klein / TIME: Swampland:
Slow News Day?  —  Arianna Huffington, the doyenne of the Hollywood left, has taken time from her busy schedule to attack me for something I said on Meet the Press three years ago.  Since this lone quote has become an article of faith among the take-no-prisoners left, let me respond:  —  1. Yes, I said it.
Tom Newton Dunn / The Sun:

FRC President: Giuliani 'Far Outside the Mainstream of Conservative Thought'  —  This just in to The Brody File.  I received the following response from Tony Perkins on what he thinks about Rudy Giuliani's chances to be the next President of the United States.  Let me put it this way: he's not thrilled.
