The so-called liberal media: Richard Cohen edition

This column still leaves me speechless, but I remember confronting the sentiment at the time. Worse, I remember the sentiment about Bush growing immediately after the attacks of September 2001. That Bush was the better man for the job "at this time."

Those sentiments were wrong at the time, they've been all but proven so, and we still haven't heard any corrections. Those sentiments just bolstered Bush's messianic self-importance. Man of destiny. Bullshit. Reminds me of Intelligent Design.

And Ezra's right. You would never hear a conservative commenatator putting the knife into their candidate in a contested election.
