"Washington has always been out of synch with the rest of America, but since Obama's election, pundits seem more stubbornly and stupendously irrelevant than ever. Have three decades of being wired for Republican power blown their jittery, Twittering minds?"
Wolcott has the DC politico/journalist environment nailed, as he swiftly skewers such fixtures as David "Dancin' Dave" Gregory and George "Quill Pen" Will. All issues are seen through the prism of "bipartisanship" (that is, cooperate with obstructionist Rethugs or else) and the daily news cycle idiocy (who won, who lost, who's up, who's down). That the American voter has overwhelmingly chosen Democratic policies in two consecutive elections is lost on the Beltway grandees, who must think this Democratic business is just a passing fad and await the Rethug restoration. . .any decade now.
