The Spectacle Blog
Tina Brown does the counterintuitive thing today and defends Bob Woodward — because she thinks what he has on tape will soon enough bring down the whole Bush operation. More entertaining to anyone who knew her before she became a girl scout is her reference to “the cynicism of quarterly profit-driven conglomerates enslaved to entertainment values.” And in case you didn’t know, she compares the scandal over the absence of WMD in Iraq to “the secret deal at Suez in 1956” and — Jed, are you listening? — “the phony evidence for the supposed Tonkin Gulf attacks.” As she writes, “it’s not just tragic; it’s embarrassing.”
