Monday Roundup

I'm not feeling it today, dear readers.

Ex-Rep., current nutcase Cynthia McKinney and ANSWER host an event on NATO's Libya campaign, refuse to let in Libyans.

Gay Orthodox groups get their first float at the Tel Aviv gay pride parade.

I remember when this scandal broke, but I confess I didn't expect any criminal indictments to come from it: Aides of former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R) charged with voter suppression crimes.

The "Anthony Weiner's secret Muslim agenda" conspiracy theory still has legs on the far-right.

Supreme Court rejects class certification for a giant sex discrimination case against Wal-Mart. Scott Lemiuex has good commentary up.

Palin Endorses Murphy, Ehrlich Breathes Sigh of Relief

Sarah Palin has endorsed long shot challenger Brian Murphy in the Maryland Republican gubernatorial primary.

Former Governor Robert Ehrlich is the overwhelming favorite in that race, and I doubt this endorsement will cause him too much trouble in the primary. And with all due respect to Governor Palin's star power (though if it can't win you Kansas, what can it do?) I have to think that a Palin endorsement would be a 200 lbs anvil that incumbent Democratic Governor Martin O'Malley would hang around Ehrlich's neck in the general. This race may be tight, but Maryland remains one of the most liberal and well-educated states in the nation. This is not real America Palin territory.
