Tina Brown: Why is Mitch McConnell Rand Paul's 'Bitch' in Tea Party 'Jihad'? (NewsBusters)
In an interview with Senator John McCain for The Daily Beast's annual Hero Summit, the blog's editor-in-chief Tina Brown launched into an unhinged rant blaming conservatives for the government shutdown: "The story of this political crisis is really, you know, the culpability not just of the Republican crazies, but of the Republican non-crazies. I mean, how do we get to the point where Mitch McConnell is Rand Paul's bitch?...Why aren't the moderate Republicans, you know, fighting back? We're always saying why don't, you know, the moderate Muslims fight jihad, but, you know, this is jihad."
