Richard Cohen was on Morning Joe this am and that was his main point: because all we really know about Obama based on his senate record is not enough, we have to go on his judgment and apparently not distancing himself from his pastor really blew it for Mr. Cohen. so think about it, Obama can't be trusted for his judgment on a personal level but everyone who was wrong on Iraq was just doing their jobs. Sounds like the main justification everyone used for impeaching Clinton, namely he wasn't engaged in his official duties as President when his indiscretion happened.

OR get permission from Karl Rove to report on something that might be classified, say like the Justice department's generation of torture memos. So, as a journalist if you'd like to keep your job in a Republican lead government, don't ask, attack the wimpy other guys and stick to gelatinous vapid lifestyle related tripe and you will get to keep your golden knee padded credentials. How more simple could that arrangement be?

Just got your book yesterday, hope you get invited to Poynter soon, if you haven't already. Anyway, my favorite line that sums it up for me is from pg69: "Ground zero for our political discourse among our establishment media are scurrilous, personal smears and attack gossip dredged from the Beltway gutter." thanks beyond for your energy.
