"The War On Gore" can probably been shown to have started well before the period<br /> stated here. After Clinton won reelection, the Press Corps has resigned themselves to<br /> four more years, and perhaps sensing the Public had had it with the Starr gang, they <br /> had changed their tunes quite a bit. Don Imus, for one, was talking about how he<br /> actually liked and admired Clinton, it was that psycho GORE we had to worry about. <br /> Moncia Lewinsky, of course, changed all that. <br /><br /> A clearer parallel to the amicable Press Ryan has gotten is probably found in <br /> free ride W received. A cursory vetting of Harken Energy would have kept W<br />from holding any Public Office, if we are limiting ourselves to a sane universe, but I<br />guess we have Texas to thank for that. Yet the connection The Daily Howler is trying<br /> to make here is pretty weak in any case. However bad Gore's treatment was, his passive response to it was exactly the wrong approach, and echoed the Class Act strategy<br />of Dem winners going back at least to Stevenson. <br /> Indeed, we see the Press going after the more brazen RNC dog do do (go get'um, Soledad!) even as it makes nice with it's conservative consumers by treating Ryan respectfully. Bill Clinton has played along with this too, so how mad can we<br /> be at CNN? Every time the Dems play a little hardball, Bob acts like the virgin in Hef's Grotto. But it's really their job to see Ryan is held to account, not the Presses. Remember, W used the "invented the internet" too, Gore would simply not hit back. <br /><br />Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288008924419574934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-28022929071854158992012-08-16T16:54:24.112-04:002012-08-16T16:54:24.112-04:00Even dead, he's still a better reporter than M...Even dead, he's still a better reporter than MoDo.gravymeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075831177588700301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-16318546113929640572012-08-16T13:12:53.130-04:002012-08-16T13:12:53.130-04:00There are echoes of Krugman's point over at &#...There are echoes of Krugman's point over at 'The New York Review of Books' <br /><br />Start quote:<br />Very quickly, the young congressman Ryan began to attract attention. “Ideas” politicians are flashier than the practical legislators, who tend to deal with an issue at a time rather than global concepts and are more focused on what can be got through the congress and implemented. With the help of influential conservative media and also their own energetic efforts they can become meteorites. Journalists love to talk to them: they’re usually interesting and make themselves very accessible. Ryan was the new generation “ideas” politician, hip and cool. He bopped about Capitol Hill, Led Zeppelin playing on earphones that he would quickly remove at the approach of an inquiring journalist.<br />End quote<br /><br />Link is here: http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/aug/16/romneys-choice/.<br />Blake Eldernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-78038247857831278912012-08-16T12:11:02.049-04:002012-08-16T12:11:02.049-04:00And why is there nothing about the hair?

But the mainstream press is silent on this transformation, as if his hair had always been combed down and then up. Before you know it, all his pix with 1940s hair will have been airbrushed from collective memory, a la Winston Smith.

Ours!"<br />gravymeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075831177588700301noreply@blogger.com
