It is a very limited light bulb
Could it be that Fred Hiatt saw the poll that Glenn cited the other day where 72% of the public approved of these investigations and only 21% said they shouldn’t be investigated? Maybe Fred thought it might be better to “lead” the parade than be trampled by it.
One area I don’t think we’ll see Fred Hiatt grapple with reality, however, is in foreign policy – he’s become a hard-core neoconservative and will continue to promote their ideas. I can’t imagine him confronting their crusade against “Islamofascism” or their insistence upon reasserting American power on a global scale.
Hiatt can safely call for investigation on the attorney scandal without being called a “girly man” by those manly-men of neo-conservatism. Oversight might be tolerated in this investigation, but let the subject of foreign policy come up and the light bulb will be immediately turned off.
