Milbank Eviscerates Plouffe, Film at Eleven

One of my favorite writers (and I don't even know him!), Dana Milbank, both eviscerates and defenestrates -- which isn't easy -- the cash-hungry, press-fearing David Plouffe for closing his speech -- at the National Press Club -- to the press:

This sort of mess has become a trademark of the former Obama campaign manager. Plouffe still keeps his Obama ties -- over the weekend he sent out an e-mail in his name to millions from barackobama.com titled "Urgent message from President Obama" -- yet he is also profiting from them. He is reported to have received as much as $2 million for his forthcoming book, "The Audacity to Win," and he can't give his material away in public speeches.
