Oh, Pundit! Oh,Bullsh*t!

Aren't we lucky to have the pundits to tell us what to think. Democrats are not even in power, yet the pundits can tell us that Nancy Pelosi must be dumped because of her 'bitchyness' and the loss of her preference for House Majority Leader. Must be nice to be all knowing, like Richard Cohen's assessment in 2003 that "Only a fool -- or possibly a Frenchman -- could conclude otherwise."(That Iraq had WMDs.)

Glenn Greenwald in Unclaimed Territory:

The mindless group-think driving the media's caricatures of Nancy Pelosi is truly astounding to behold, even considering the source. She's not even Speaker yet, and they've already pronounced her to be a bitchy, vindictive shrew incapable of leading because she's consumed by petty personal bickering rather than serious and substantive considerations. And all of this is based on nothing.

Unsurprisingly, all of this has been concocted by the herd of all-knowing Beltway analysts who fancy themselves to be such high-minded warriors against conventional wisdom even though they are its most obedient vessels.
