The "best of the best"?

[Old and In the Way]

This is a great in-depth article by Jamison Foser on just how big a biased political hack David Broder really is. It ought to be required reading for all who want to understand how the venerated "dean" of the Washington political establishment has been consistently aiding and abetting the Republican Party for decades.

Just one example that Foser notes....he completely exposes Broder for the wanker he is:

* In 1998, Broder suggested President Clinton should resign, apparently because he "he may well have lied to a federal grand jury." Read that again: Broder wasn't even sure if he thought Clinton lied to a federal grand jury, but thought he should resign. Because maybe he lied. About an affair.

But in 2006, Broder wrote that President Bush "has proved to be lawless and reckless. He started a war he cannot finish, drove the government into debt and repeatedly defied the Constitution." Did he think this "lawless and reckless" president who "repeatedly defied the Constitution" should resign? If he thought so, he did not tell us. Broder believes his president is a lawless man who repeatedly defies the Constitution -- yet this superman, this titan, this great and influential man will not say it is time for the president to step down. Now, if Bush "may well have lied" about sex ... then, perhaps this titan would be stirred to speak out a little more boldly.

5. K&R.

Completely agree on Broder.

If he had his day at all, it's long past. His columns of recent years are pedestrian at best, and increasingly like mountain roads that "lie skewhunky on the map."
