And the horse you rode in on.

What I said about Washington and politicians goes double for "journalists", i.e. reporters who think they're better than the people they serve and report on.

Cathy Seipp is right. It stinks. The whole press these days has such a whiff of condescension and arrogance that you'd think the fish came wrapped in it.

This is why I don't think any conviction can ever be won on a prosecution like that against Scooter Libby. You can never prove that the reporters didn't get the story from the "innocent" victim whose cover has been blown.
