Who put Joe in charge of the lights? posted at 8:52 am on July 7, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly Rarely has any administration had to spend as much time issuing public corrections to statements made by a Vice President as the Obama adminstration.

Hugh Hewitt's TownHall Blog —
President Barack Obama is wrapping up his meeting with the G-8 leaders and a stop in Russia. And with it comes some very troubling developments regarding the Middle East, and our changing policy vis-a-vis meddling in Iran. First, you wouldn't know it listening to the silence out of the Obama administration, and the mainstream media still coming down off of their Michael Jackson wall-to-wall coverage, but the Iranian protestors are still protesting. They are literally in the streets fighting for their lives, hoping that somebody in the free world, anybody, hears their cries for freedom and self-determination. The thuggish theocracy is still brutishly cracking down on any public dissent ...
