This guy is consistently getting exposed for being wrong on most everything he covers, often embarrassingly so. Why does he still have a job, and why does he still get on TV?
One of those mocking, derisive but ultimately silly attacks made by both Giuliani and Palin yesterday had to do with mocking Obama’s time as a community organizers. I’ve read many different posts today defending the work community organizers do but Obama, as you might expect, puts the right perspective on the issue. Steve Benen has more background.
(he slightly misspeaks at the start — it was 20 years ago, not 3).
If we all did our job the way Time Magazine describes their job, we’d have accountants who tell the IRS what you think your taxes would be, and what the IRS thinks your taxes would be, and puts them both on your return and leaves it at that. That’s how stupid Time is being, and how stupid their political columnist, Joe Klein is being.
Actually, he’s not being stupid. He’s being un-fing-believably lazy. It’s negligent. If he can’t spend the time to understand one of the most important and controversial pieces of legislation going through Congress right now, what the hell is he doing talking about politics?
