...goes to the Telegraph's Kevin Landrigan:
The irony is, of course, that Shea-Porter used to be a "tea-bagger'' on the left.
Granted, the competition was stiff.  But what put this gem over the edge was how Republico picked it up for their linkbait hit piece on Carol.

Partisan balance promotes the notion that (4.00 / 1)

I wish it wasn't, because I think it's not cricket. But it is standard procedure.
