A funny thing happened in a New York Magazine blog post last Friday. In a piece on Occupy Wall Street's upcoming plans, reporter Joe Coscarelli made a little mistake. He wrote:

The Washington Interest Group Wars produced a scuffle all the way out in Oregon last weekend, where a group of 18 liberal activists, organized by MoveOn, were meeting in a public park. Some brave Real Americans with the local chapter of Americans for Prosperity — the Koch brothers-funded Tea Party group — got wind of this meeting, heckled these "communists" away, and followed them to their new, private meeting place.

The (ex-)Rand Paul county coordinator who stomped on a liberal activist's head before a Kentucky Senate debate Monday night would like an apology from her. She started it and was basically asking for it, you see.

Now that we've identified the Tea Partier who wrestled a female protester to the ground at Kentucky's Senate debate, how about the guy who trod on her face? Meet Tim Profitt. He once had his picture taken with Rand Paul.

A woman protesting against Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul outside Monday night's debate was dragged to the ground and had her head "stomped" by a sneaker-wearing old man. Kentucky: You need to take a chill pill.

Oh hey, look, it's John Cusack, campaigning against John McCain in a MoveOn.org ad! Cusack's War, Inc., which was a sort of Dr. Strangelove-meets-the-Iraq War, got weak reviews, but points to the actor for including a very, very difficult POP QUIZ in this commercial. Spoiler: The correct answer to every question is the same: "I have no idea, but Lloyd Dobler is DREAMY." Ad/quiz after the jump.

Is the rate that the New York Times gave MoveOn for their full-page ad—$65,000, when the open rate is listed at $181,692—really going to turn into a scandal? Maybe, because wife-hungry proponent of fetus-killing Rudy Giuliani wants in now! Well, really, he just wants the same good rate they got. (Cheapskate.) Oddly enough, Rudy Giuliani is not either a registered 501(c)(4) nonprofit—like MoveOn, and the NRA!—or going through firms that buy ad space in bulk, so he probably won't get it! Oh also he's super-rich!
