I've met quite a few of the Newsweek staff and they are all typical angry childish leftists. They became UNHINGED when Bush crushed Kerry in Nov. 2004. They were all so sure that their political efforts would pay off and guarantee a Kerry victory. You should have seen them afterwards, they looked like they had been bombed by the Nazis.

If you haven't read Alter's hit piece this week you've gotta check it out - he basically accuses Bush of crimes so vicious against the American people that he essentially is pushing for execution, I think. At first it made my blood boil, but realizing the childishness and vacuity of his arguments made me smile with delight as I foresaw Newsweak's reputation in it's dying throes. They have gone from scurrilous to scandoulous - and they don't care. It is the most poorly managed "news" agency going, I expect them to go insolvent within the next year.

I recall that either Howard Kurtz and/or Howard Fineman at Newsweak high fived people in the office when that first bunko exit poll (60% women, all inner city respondants) showing that Kerry would win. I remember preparing myself for a Kerry presidency when the first reports from places like NRO said those polls were poorly done and inacccurate; ergo Bush went on to win a crushing victory.
