The Other Revolution, Ctd
ByAckerman sounds off on the Nico-Milbank smackdown:
[I]t's more than a little silly for Milbank to act like he's a journalistic
crusader while writing the material he writes. Here's Nico, covering one of the
biggest stories of the year in an innovative fashion, throwing a tough question
at Obama in the process, and there's Milbank, focusing on... the meta-question
of the White House coopting Nico as a public-diplomacy strategy. The trivial
mixes very poorly with the serious, and it's really in poor form to call Nico a dick for pointing
that out. I've lived in Washington for seven years now, and each passing year I
fear that I'll drink too much of the water that evidently interferes with a
person's capacity for self-awareness.
