Do you suppose Media Matters and CAP gets these old liberal coots out of mothballs, hands them a big check, and gets their “message” out that way? I think we far underestimate the power of money to get these irrelevant old pundits scribbling again, particularly as unoriginal and dull as this offering from Kinsley is. I remember better and brighter prose than this tired, recycled Jon Stewart snark. “Talking points done. Now where’s my credit for $5K?”

They have their following. I imagine it’s among those who fancy themselves “intellectuals”, but are in reality as dull and humorless as Kinsey.
The good news (IMO): their days are numbered. There’s just too much good stuff out there, and it’s easily accessible.
