FLASHPOINT for Jun 12, 2007

Tuesday, June 12, 2007 | 7 a.m.

I don't know whether this is a sadder commentary on parti- san operatives or the media. The Democrats' Howard Dean was in Reno on Monday. And before he got there, I received an e-mail from the Republican National Committee from someone "hoping to send you a quote from me for balance in your story " What? Something like: "Mr. Dean and his Surrender First mentality are typical of what we have been hearing from the Democratic presidential candidates." See, I could do that job. And, yes, so could a monkey. And it would probably get printed somewhere. This is what political discourse has devolved to - sending a quote in advance for "balance." And it's not just the GOP. I could write one for the Democrats, too. But I will spare you.
