Newsweek blames the bloggers

Writes Michael Hirsh:
For the last few days, the blogosphere has been ablaze with speculation about the kind of damage Hillary Clinton could do to the Obama presidency if she becomes secretary of state.
Of course, for the last few days there's been comparatively little speculation within the blogosphere about what kind of "damage" Hillary Clinton could to the Obama presidency. It's been the mainstream media that's played up the "damage" angle and been childishly obsessed with pushing the "soap opera" angle of the story.
For the most part, lib bloggers have been treating the story seriously, like adults. We're still waiting for the Beltway pundits to catch up.

Newsweek. Is slightly better than Time. But wasn't this the same Newsweek that was wondering "Is Obama the Antichrist"?
I still remember the time that Sam Seder of Air America asked the guy who put together the "Conventional Wisdom" column what were his sources for "conventional wisdom". He got really upset to even be asked. I think it would be interesting to hear what Michael Hirsh is reading in the blogosphere. Why do I think he will mention Drudge and The Note?
By "blogosphere", Hirsch apparently means Dick Morris and Snuffleupagus. Everything from A to B!
