The View From Battlefield

This great quote

I got a taste of this when I interviewed Republican operative Victoria Toensing, an attorney in private practice in Washington and a popular conservative pundit. Toensing has taken a leading role in the PR strategy to defend Rove. In my interview with her, she suggested it was an outrage to even speculate as to whether Rove may have committed a crime.

comes from this WaPo article. It goes with this one:

Toensing, a former Justice Department official in the Reagan administration, wasn't eager to give President Clinton the benefit of the doubt. She appeared on cable talk shows to denounce Clinton just days after the Drudge Report and The Washington Post broke the Monica Lewinsky story.

and this one

Toensing assumed Clinton was guilty based on reports of Clinton's deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment civil case.

And then there's this

Stop, stop, don't do that to somebody's reputation!" she said. "[Rove]'s not a target. Let me tell you how strongly I feel. I am a criminal defense attorney. I feel I have to keep clearing people's names

Add it up folks. This means Toensing is a Republican shill, in kind if not in fact. What we do know is she's a scum bag. Just listen to her sometime.
