Sunday Morning Reading

This morning we've got, for your edification:

Frank Rich on why Obama needs to get with his inner Teddy Roosevelt on the oil spill crisis; and

Media Matters on how CBS News' Jan Crawford distorted Elena Kagan's record as Justice Thurgood Marshall's clerk. (This is but the latest example of how CBS News is bending over backwards to find the dark cloud in every Obama Administration silver lining, even if it has to invent one. We noticed, BTW, last week Katie Couric repeatedly throwing leading questions-cum-statements at Adm. Thad Allen on the now-dominant media narrative that the Administration's "failings" should be confessed and investigated. We wouldn't want to go beyond the superficial, near-term, who's-up-who's-down now, would we Katie?!)
