The trivia rather than the issues drove the last couple of years of 24/7 campaigning. We didn't get policy alternatives we got questions of how many houses you own, what your wardrobe cost, who your nanny was, where you were during the cultural revolution and whether or not Joe the Plumber is licensed to practice.
Now, that bastion of liberal e-journalism offers this penetrating piece:
Setting a Journalistic Low
The puns that can be generated from that simply overwhelm me. I apologize for the pun pair before the link. But, can you read through the piece (sorry again) and get to the last paragraph when the writer says, "the jig is up" without reflexively thinking that is a racist comment?
Really, how low can we go here?
