While Haitians struggle with the death and horror of their worst earthquake in two centuries, where will the “UN Envoy To Haiti” be?
Why, raising money from rich liberals for Martha Coakley, of course!
I’ve resisted giving advice to the Coakley campaign, but this event is so egregious I have to speak out. Martha, do yourself and President Clinton a favor, and tell him to spend Friday in Port-au-Prince, not the Fairmont Copley in Boston.



"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
