Pamela Geller Bikini ‘Scandal’?

Remember my joke — and it was a joke, in case you didn’t realize it — that Marcela Hoeven looking good in a bikini was a “scandal”? The Washington Post evidently thinks the same thing of Pamela Geller: The most colorful — and perhaps most visible — activist at the moment is Pam Geller, a […]

How to Get Linked, Lesson One
