I’m sure you all have seen Campbell Brown’s ridiculous concern-trolling of Planned Parenthood in the New York Times, an op-ed that never should have been run both because it’s so fact-free and because Brown fails to disclose that her husband works for the Romney campaign. Kathleen Geier rips it up…
