QUOTE OF THE DAY….From Syrian ambassador Imad Moustapha, in an interview with Foreign Policy magazine:

“I have reason to believe that even if McCain becomes president of the United States, he will also be inclined to sit and talk with Syria. I can tell you this on the record: Senator Joe Lieberman, who is supposed to be very close to McCain, has said this explicitly and very clearly to me personally.”

That’s good to hear. I wonder why McCain’s supporters seem so reticent to say the same thing publicly?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
