[...] As well as a brickbat, I do throw a bouquet to Pajamas Media over the MoveOn.org doctored photo debacle, for showing how many blogs working together forced the lefties to abandon their “fake but accurate” attempt to smear the administration. [...]

[...] Sounds like they hired MoveOn.org’s image people. [...]
