i guess i understand that many of the large, leftyish blogmeisters get stiffies imagining themselves becoming the next david broder or even ross doo-hat. if they ingratiate themselves to the village just right, then some friend-of-obama-or-pelosi will pluck them from their seat on the lawrence o'donnell show and lead them to sententious tenure. it's human nature, and few can resist the paycheck when they get that close. after all, you're on cable, and obama says nuclear power is our future, so you puke up some misinformed banalities and just maybe you can skip the viagra tonight. fine. but where do all the other idiots come from? this is not freerepublic, for christ's sake. from the back bench left-wing bloggers to the legion of idiots and their comments that parrot the company line from their trenches in the realtiy based community, it is just a tiny bit disheartening to see all the stupidity on shameless display. you don't work for the company you fool, so why do they carry their water for free? of course, i dismiss the industry types and university shills. they are hopeless and to be ignored. i'm not talking about them. it's the garden-variety igorant fuck that you find under every rock littered all over this new, left-wing media.
again, it makes sense to be a toady if you're already getting paid and really really believe you could get a huge fucking paycheck some day. and some of the folks out there have been properly sceptical from the start, but not as many as you would think! are the rest just morons, misinformed or perhaps lickspittles by nature? i'm not sure. perhaps rather than hope for better from stars and up-and-comers, we should look for intellectual leadership and information from the old hands. they've done their work, have found their voices, and are not interested in being careerist ass clowns anymore, if they ever were.
the nuclear issues in japan have highlighted a lot of the ignorance and useful idiocy of plenty of folks who should--and claim to everyday--know better.
