How partisanship can make you stupid

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 2:27pm — DCblogger

David Waldman aka Kagro X reports on the negotiations over health care reform and the most significant thing he can find is that the Republicans are refusing to participate and therefore will have no input. The direction of the talks seem to hold no interest.

Compare his post to bmaz's insightful post about the corporate nature of the discussion and the contrast could not be greater.

I meant to call that Times article out, and maybe I'll do it later today. But the front-paged article at Big Orange was -- and I know this will surprise a lot of people -- stunning in its vacuity.
