I mentioned the hapless duo of Brooks and Friedman appearing on Press the Meat on Sunday. Here’s more.
On yesterday’s Meet the Press, Tim Russert spoke about Iraq with a two-man panel—David Brooks and Thomas Friedman. What made this panel so intriguing? Each man supported the war from the start! Thus continued the media custom known in these precincts as “rule by the wrong.” If you were right from the start about Iraq, you’re pretty much banned from network discussions. Only those who were wrong can still comment. It’s something like a basketball tourney where only the losers advance.
