Last night Jahiz spotlighted Rachel Maddow's inspired takedown of Orrin Hatch's mendacious Washington Post health care OpEd in the recommended diary Maddow Battens Down the Hatch. The diary was well-received and stayed on the Rec List for many hours of fun.
Seems that we're not the only ones who noticed. Today TV Newser brings us a Twitter exchange between Hatch and Maddow:
@maddow (Rachel Maddow) ran me down on her show last night over my views on health care reform. Wonderful badge of honor.
Dear @OrrinHatch: http://is.gd/... I didn't actually address your views, sir, just your misrepresentation of the facts.
Dear Senator Hatch: Never get in an argument with someone much smarter than you, especially when you've been caught red-handed with flat-out lies.
UPDATE: After unexpectedly making the rec list, see below for public-spirited addendum.
