As the Village Turns
by digby
I like Chris Cilizza. He seems like a very nice guy and he does the job he's assigned to do --- share beltway rumor, gossip and conventional wisdom --- very well.
But he is a creature of the Village and I think this illustrates its culture perfectly:
The reason I like him is because unlike all the rest of them, he admits it: he loves politics as soap opera. The truth is that they all do. But the rest of them like to pretend they are doing serious journalism. (And I'd guess many of them think they are much superior to Cilizza ...)
