Methinks Mr. Cohen should have been doing a little less defending of the administration that brought us this current disaster. In any case, he raises an intriguing, and depressing, and worrisome point: Much has been made of the so-called culture wars here in America. The McCain-Palin ticket represents one culture and Obama-Biden another. But this clash is not about culture per se -- otherwise,...

B just sent this letter to the Editor of the Washington Post (hint: it ain't ever gonna see newsprint).

Equally if not more damaging, the shift has been just as pronounced, if less...

Over at Slate... He's Lost Alter! New York's John Heilemann, as evidence of a media shift against McCain , offers this: Jonathan Alter, Joe Klein, Richard Cohen, David Ignatius, Jacob Weisberg: all former McCain admirers now turned brutal critics.

By Richard Cohen Washington Post Reading William Kristol's column in The New York Times, I discover that Sarah Palin and I have something in common. Kristol, who was once Dan Quayle's chief of staff and therefore, shall we say, has a Mister Rogers approach to certain politicians, got Palin on the phone and reported Monday that she does not "have a very high opinion of the mainstream media."...

... small-mindedness, not snobbery, is the dominant mind-set of 21st-century Washington. Faux-liberal Richard Cohen: Since I began with the Times' conservative columnist of the moment, I will end with its conservative columnist of years past -- the estimable William Safire. In 1996, he called Hillary Clinton "a congenital liar." It was a head-snapping characterization that, alas for Clinton,...
