The Daily Wrap

Today on the Dish we saw a US president accept responsibility for a disaster (imagine that), but it appeared his boldness was just words. The first transgender appointee got unwanted attention from both the fringe and the mainstream (will Drudge hit her next?) and Palin made a deal with the Tea Party. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime continued its comical cover-up, though we did see signs of cracking.

In Iran commentary, Kevin Sullivan and Larison defended the Leveretts. On torture, Andrew used both barrels on Cheney and saved plenty of ammo for Thiessen.  Ross, a reader, and Reihan joined the Chait-Manzi debate. Charles Murray demonstrated an awful approach to race while TNC had the best. Hitchens took on the Dutch cartoonist attack, Kinsley went after newspapers, and a reader dissented with Andrew over Israel. Also, we heard more from "Jew Town" and were reminded of South Africa's progressive strides on gays.

Finally: eff you iPhone.
