Washington's "Dean" of Washington gasbag pundits David Broder takes aim at fellow Kaplan Daily snark meister Dana Milbank in his column today. The subject: is Rahmbo playing the blame game inside the White House to the detriment of the President? Key quotes from the Dean:
"None of this would rise above the level of petty Washington gossip except that some of Emanuel's friends are so eager to exonerate him that they are threatening to undermine the president. Milbank, presumably reflecting what he hears, calls Obama 'airy and idealistic' and says he readily succumbs to 'bullying' from Republicans and Democrats alike. I hope the mullahs in Iran don't believe this.Oh snap, Dean! Right in the upstart's groin from the crotchety old Dean. We'll see whether his "friend" -- as the Dean calls Milbank -- fires back.
From too many years of covering politics, I have come to believe as Axiom One that the absolute worst advice politicians ever receive comes from journalists who fancy themselves great campaign strategists."
