...making it seem childish, boorish, and even racist. A couple of months ago, for example, a legislative aide to Sen. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) emailed out a picture of previous, white presidents followed by a black portrait with only two oversized eyes portraying Obama—supposedly meant to remind of us of a dark past of Sambo and blackface images. The aide later apologized not for sending a racist email, but for “sending [the e-mail] to the wrong list of people.” My advice for Republicans: Learn from Democratic politicians. Even when they...

Aides to Chávez - who is up for re-election in 2012 and won a referendum this year that eliminates presidential term limits - say the broadcast licenses are being withdrawn for technical reasons. And they remind critics that Globovisión, whose anti-Chávez fare is often more politically gratuitous than journalistically professional, openly backed a 2002 coup attempt against Chávez (as did the RCTV network, whose license Chávez revoked in 2007).
