No One's Perfect

Josh Marshall, for maybe the first time ever, really blues it out of his ass:

Those Republicans are pretty tough. They lose both houses of Congress. And they still won't give Russert his testicles back.

I hear even Halperin is making a play for non-custodial visits.

Link.

In his defense, his wife was about to give birth.

But I digress.

Let's parse this nonsense.

Russert is a courtier, a water-carrier.

But Big Media DC courtiers see as the power to which they suck up as not the party in power but to the GOP whether or not it's in power.

So 7 November changes nothing to panderers like Russert. If the GOP has Russert's or Halperin's balls, it's because they were willingly given to the party, not unwillingly taken by the party.

I mean, if these @$$holes weren't partisan operatives -- and they are very little more than that -- how could they justifiably take John McCain seriously? (Short answer: they are and that's how.)
