Media Kettle-side Chats
AS asks:
Does Clarence Thomas really have to pitch his book to every hard-right commentator out there?It does seem as if the echo chambers of the Right have gotten a lot bigger and far more cozy than in a long while.
Even Rumsfeld didn't get his Hoover appointment yanked. Even now that the Times is out with the latest memos.
Btw, don't give up the perspective that 'politicization' of justice (or 'the media', or what have you) is what some people want, include HH, right? It's part of the path to Pottersville, and permanent power, no?
Update: Frank Rich weighs in with style:
WHAT'S the difference between a low-tech lynching and a high-tech lynching? A high-tech lynching brings a tenured job on the Supreme Court and a $1.5 million book deal. A low-tech lynching, not so much.
