Matthew Yglesias whines about preordained media coverage:
Watching Chris Matthews, I just saw that Tim Russert has already booked John McCain as his featured interviewee for this Sunday. Republican presidential candidate who won the Iowa Caucuses? Well, sorry, you’re out of luck. It’s already been decided that the “real” story out of Iowa is McCain…
Guess who Russert just had on last Sunday?
Karl – Truth and history are not even stumbling blocks for asshats like that anymore. I remember way back when Yglesias was almost reasonable, and in the continuum of lefties, he still is I guess. They do not even give a passing nod to the truth as they breezily float past it.
Sharp as a tack, that one. Has anyone else noticed Huckabee on every show on TV this morning? This conspiracy needs work.
But, but, but … that was before the mighty caucuses crowned our new emperors!
I found that I was unable to watch post caucus analysis because of the breathless, overwrought conclusions of great changes in the political landscape. Karl has it right; Iowa is only important because of teh ethanol and the media’s noncritical hand waving.
And because of the freaky heehawing little Malachai’s.
Any commentary on how a state with 2.5% black population went for Obama?
Shouldn’t the Dems be outraged over the lack of minority representation in the Iowa and NH votings?

I figure they’re too busy implying that the voters are too mysoginistic to vote for Hillary.
Buy hey, it’s cause they love America that they keep telling us how much we all suck.
Scape Goat – Heads. You are a sexist. Tails. You are a racist.
Now it’s time for the Bigs. The Sadie Hawkins dance is over – get out the soup and fish and take it the cleaners for Tuesday Night!

Also that Rich Lowry tart who gays it up with the NRO church youth group was on teh NPR and he also failed to notice that Thompson had finished third so that was kind of surprising given Rich “major blow” Lowry’s expertise.
That Yglesias dude is rhe cream of the is the cream of the truth to power progressive blogosphere analytical crop is he not? He creates his own truthiness wherever he goes, when he is not splitting atoms with his mind or singing duets with his brother Julio.
“Of all the BDS I have….”
what? there’s some law that you can’t be on a Sunday talk show two weeks in a row?
Pat Hickey,
What, you just going gloss over the Wyoming Caucuses? They are tomorrow.
