Although I expressed some disappointment last night toward Andrew Breitbart over his handling of the Shirley Sherrod video, I can certainly understand how the situation got like this.

By Breitbart’s own account on CNN this afternoon, he only received during the weekend the two videos that he posted on Monday, although he’s apparently known about them since March.| MORE ›
