I’ve been too ill recently to watch too much news, so I completely missed the coverage of Glenn Beck’s rally on the Washington Mall. Fortunately, Robert Costa of National Review was among the 100,000 to 300,000 people in attendance.

Over at National Review Online The Corner, Andy McCarthy points out the Democratic hypocrisy,
