UPDATED: Because Politico is really just a GOP bulletin board

It's a two-fer, as the staff at Politico continues its noble tradition of typing up as news whatever conservatives are talking about.
First up Mike Allen who didn't simply report on how Sen. Lamar Alexander had given a speech on Wednesday and claimed the Obama White House now resembled the dirty trickster from the Nixon years and that Obama was busy compiling an "enemies list."

Even after all these years, they refresh his web page hourly and report on the dubious garbage he links to from the British tabloid press and conervative U.S. media.
It's a joke and the DC press love it & eat it up.
Just like you've been, yet again.
