Crooks and Liars has the
clip of Mehlman on
The Daily Show.
I think this comment by Mehlman at the last few seconds of the clip sums up the problem with the news media in America these days. The context is Stewart complimenting him on being sent out by the GOP to tv shows and talking up the GOP:
"Although - I chose to go on this show. So. I don't know if they put me on this one. This is harder than most."
This is harder than most.
A fake news show on a cable comedy channel. Harder than most.
If I had Tim Russert's address I'd put that quote on a postcard and send it to him. That quote is a job performance review and if it was directed at me, I'd change careers.
UPDATE: Thanks for the recommends. While I'm here I'd like to ask people to remind Americans overseas to register to vote.
