A Bacchanal of Rushdie Affairs

Good Morning... A couple of related items today.

• It hasn't been a good few weeks for free expression, and neither liberals nor conservatives have much to be proud of--from France to Columbia University to YouTube. See "A Bacchanal of Rushdie Affairs."
  

• It's official: Hell has frozen over, because I'm writing in support of one of the blog world's most reprehensible voices. But fair is fair. See "In Defense of Michelle Malkin."
  

Let's hope it doesn't become a habit. And do forgive. Thanks for reading.pt
