On Krauthammer and Distractions

Charles has shrunk into a very little man, of late. Have you noticed the shrill character of his exotic screeds? He's becoming a pundit-piñata, I'm sorry to say, because he used to write informative essays.

LIVE, FROM THE CLONE CAR

To see how far away from shore he's rowed, compare/contrast with his own back-benches. Here's NRO's McCarthy, lashing out at "distractions", a category that Charles now denies exists ...:

Senator McCain appears to have been smeared by the Times. I'm sorry that happened, but if indignation is the order of the day, count me out. You see, I also feel sorry — really sorry — for the intelligence officers who've been maligned as torturers, for those who want the immigration laws enforced and are libeled as racists, for those who doubt the wisdom of campaign finance reform and are glibly scandalized as promoters of public corruption, and so on. Each of these Gray Lady smears ....

...The Times is a politicized rag and no one should take satisfaction in seeing McCain subjected to its journalistic version of waterboarding.
