Michael Barone's latest column,
Blogosphere
politics is up. He looks at what the leftist blogs target from
their 'electoral cul de sac' (French for 'dead end', or 'bottom of
the bag' according to google): Bush, from farther and farther on
the feverish left. The rightwing blogs pant after Old Media.
Both sides wind up helping Bush: the right by discrediting the
networks and major newspapers, the left by coming across as more
and more deranged and irrelevant.
Barone discusses the
60 Minutes II Bush-ANG Memos story, but
doesn't mention the tackling of Jordan Eason and CNN. Too bad: he
could have contrasted the rightwingers swarming of Eason versus the
leftists lifting up of Dean.
