Broder takes the cake today (via Balloon Juice):

Cheney . . . . is scornful of the simplistic formulas . . .

Heh.

Speaking for me only

    Broder approves of sweeping the crimes of the Bush Admin. under the rug.
    Guess those crimes were not like Clinton's
    "trashing the place, and it's not his place."

    this is the same guy (Cheney) who said that there (none / 0) (#1)

    I've never seen Cheney write any critiques of Broder's writing, but I somehow doubt that Cheney would have been scornful....

    continues to be the most disgusting pundit in tyhe Village.  Most disgusting because he's called the 'Dean' and that presumes influenece.

    The paragraphs that kmblue references:

    And he is brave also in joining Cheney in opposing the calls, emanating mainly from his fellow Democrats, for a "truth commission" to search out and presumably punish those whose past security practices are now being changed.
    Strong as their disagreements on other issues, Cheney and Obama are as one on that question. And they are right.

    Made my stomach turn.  "And he is brave ..."

    I can think of more apt descriptions but brave certainly isn't one of them.  Crass cowardice, a fear of upsetting the Village, exclusion of the rule of law, rebuking the very basis of our own Revolution is the first thought and that's plenty.
