Brinkley then issued this statement via U.S. Newswire, and paid for by Kerry-Edwards 2004 But he's an independent historian, right? Gimme a break.

Mr. Brinkley, we thought perhaps you were developing a conscience, or at least a sense of shame -- but thank you for setting the record straight.

Just as I am shocked that it took Rathergate to get more attention focused un the amount of trust that is placed in sources of news - I am amazed that the profession of "Presidential Historian" has not received more critical attention to date. Brinkley is a suck up who has positioned himself to be the presidential historian of the Kerry Administration. Someone please tell Douglas that
there will not be a Kerry Administration - so all the time he spent figuratively on his knees was wasted.
Seriously - the next time you see a panel with Brinkley, Kearns-Goodwin, Bechschloss, et. al. - you have to ask: Who ever suggested that these few folks had a unique or particularly valuable perspective on the Presidency? And why should we place inordinate faith in their observations?
