In the Loop

Flip-Flop Fever

With primary season just weeks away, the politicos and pundits are on the watch for the dreaded "flip-flop." In The Loop goes political with an informative, sometimes irreverant, look at that toxic phrase. From the etymology of "flip-flop" and famous "flop-flops" in history to politicians talking straight about the effects of "flip-flop" attacks. And yup, we've got "flip-flop" songs too.
