There was so much awesome shit going on that made everyone feel real proud, wasn't there?
More to the point, there was a time in my youth when I aspired to be a member in good standing of the Washington press corps. Because, you know, Woodward and Bernstein, and Jack Anderson and Drew Pearson, and Helen Thomas and Izzy Stone! Sometime over the last 40 years, however---the Ron & Nancy years, perhaps?---real, i.e., adversarial journalists were gradually phased out in favor of the gang of sociopathic toadies and syncophants who currently serve as our nation's court stenographers, and who chuckled in delight while thousands were slaughtered. All of which is why your humble blogger is guessing that he'd have been a wash-out in Washington.
