    Wolfrum’s Word

    A while back, I had a give-and-take with Andrew Breitbart on Twitter. I had a few before he blocked me, and there really wasn’t anything to gain from them. I was mostly just probing for weaknesses. But in one exchange, Breitbart gloated about how he “Won” in the ACORN scandal. After yesterday’s Shirley Sherrod fiasco, Breitbart can enjoy another victory. Because when you’re a Republican operative who thinks the media is about winning and losing, honesty and integrity make no difference. Breitbart did his job, and one can only wonder whether the White House, corporate media and others will let him get another “win.”
