I posted the following comment there which appears to have been deleted. It is aggressive in tone, but I think still within the bounds of civil discourse (slightly edited to handle links):
Glenn Greenwald puts his finger on the true meaning of this silly controversy in his post http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/05/03/politico/index.html The Politico: Exhibit A for our broken political press.
This is your eighth article on the matter. You disingenuously use an article linked to by Drudge to pretend that this is a big issue with ordinary Iowans. You quote the fact that Limbaugh's mild mannered fan Brian Williams asked a question about it in the debate as if that somehow proved something. What next? Are you going to tell us about the deep meaning of Williams' first question (see http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh043007.shtml ) which featured General Patton wiping Senator Reid off his boot? No, I am not making this up. Follow the link, read and weep for the state of our public discourse courtesy of Simon, Williams and their cohort.
