Call Me Classless…
… but after returning from a bluegrass festival and seeing the outpouring of grief over Tim “Pumpkinhead” Russert and calls for civility, I’m wondering what the big deal is.
The guy was a classic example of the banality of evil, a fat backslapping bloviator who was probably a nice guy, but who was also Dick Cheney’s [...]
LTE: Bill Kristol is a Hypocrite
Nepotism hire William Kristol takes Barack Obama to task for not exhorting college graduates to serve in the military (What Obama Left Out, NYT 6/2/08).

DES MOINES, Iowa - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is too experienced, Sen. Barack Obama too raw. Listening to Democrats give their Goldilocks view of the 2008 presidential campaign must make voters wonder: Will any candidate be just right for the White House?

The Family Business
A former Reagan administration official and once President Bush’s choice for labor secretary, Ms. Chavez now sits at the helm of a political empire that includes antiabortion, anti-union, anti-affirmative action and pro-Republican groups.

Richard Cohen: Apologist for Felons, and Total Moron. Also, a Meditation on Responsibility
This is not an entirely trivial matter since government officials should not lie to grand juries, but neither should they be called to account for practicing the dark art of politics. As with sex or real estate, it is often best to keep the lights off.
That’s the inestimable Richard Cohen, who is so infernally stupid [...]

My ethics are thiiiis big
In which Booman takes the unctuous Joe Klein in his teeth and shakes him like a pit bull shakes a three-year old child.
You say you love blogging but you’re bummed that ‘the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the [...]
