Media Matters vs. Dana Milbank

[Enrique]

it's tough to excerpt this, it's an exchange back and forth with a bunch of links, but here's the ending:

Anyway, I'm glad Milbank responded, because it gives me an opportunity to address something I left out of my post last night: Milbank's column was a complaint about the decline in civility in public discourse:

As President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night, the nation's rapidly deteriorating discourse hit yet another low.

...

The national debate, already raw for years, had coarsened over the summer.

And so on.

Yeah, that's right: Dana Milbank, whose dress-up skit show was cancelled after he called the Secretary of State a "bitch," was handing out lessons in civility. And now he's offering lessons in being taken seriously. I'll pass.
