3. I describe myself as coming out of a labor-liberal political tradition because I do! I got my start at The American Prospect, RDP’s frequent partner. 4. These guys are — and I cannot emphasize this enough — huge liars.

Aren't they paid to smear "political appointees"? - their handlers should keep a closer eye on where their money is going.
