New Republic Editor Evokes Fringe Email "Clinical Narcissism" Smear
A famously hawkish supporter of Israel, New Republic editor Marty Peretz's accusations about the president mimic the message of a fringe ring-wing email that I got my hands on.

If you serve a right-wing Republican president you can write or say anything you want. But if you serve a liberal Democratic president, like the "pinks" who fell to McCarthyism, you can be taken down.

Not that I'm bothered by Peretz's or anyone else's racism, which is directed only towards mere people. But why his perpetual assault on grammar? Grammar isn't an Arab, Marty. You're thinking of algebra.

The stimulus package worked to make life better for "victims of the recession." What is disappointing is that the programs politicians had the most say in are the most flawed.

I fear a Congress that, while not so much parasitic, is so fearful of being attached to any of Obama's failures that it misses every opportunity to be a part of his successes.

Discrimination in our armed forces carries a potent symbolism: It tells an entire class of people that the country is not interested in their service.

I am grateful to The New Republic for providing the space for long essays on complex subjects.

Did you read The New Republic's cover story on Arianna Huffington? Isaac Chotiner devastatingly deconstructs her in a mere 6,200 well-chosen words in his review of her latest book.

Jack Kemp should be remembered as the lone conservative voice to speak about the importance of cities at least since the federal government turned its back on urban areas.

The New Republic, continuing the political world's odd obsession with the Drudge Report, says its editor, Matt Drudge, has disappeared, or gone into seclusion like some latter-day Howard Hughes.

The mistakes or missteps of President Bush lie not merely in his administration's lack of transparency, but in its disregard for the establishment of goals.

While both "the right and the left," in plying their case, often lamely impugn the press when their point of view fails to take root, this is not the reason the public believes the press to be damaging to democracy.

So what kind of guy is engaged to Uma Thurman, is a magnanimous patron of charities, and is proof that, if born with a huge silver spoon in your mouth, you can still do good while doing well?

Doesn't the best online journalism still depend on old media outlets? What happens when we lose all those print reporters, the ones who file history's first draft?

Tthe GOP is stepping up efforts to stress diversity, but is resorting to a tried-and-true W. tactic: the promotion of compromised, disreputable individuals -- a kind of lemon diversity that only highlights their cynicism and contempt for the public.

It's hard for me to pick a side in the whole affair. This is because the stakes are so terrifyingly low! Nothing in our lives hinges on whether or when or where or how President-Elect Barack Obama goes to church. The only place is seems to matter is to media types, off chasing picayune inanities.

Today we know there's no such person as Martin Eisenstadt. He was nothing but a hoax. The truth was established way back in June, thanks to good sleuthing by a blogger.

It's only considered to be newsworthy, and to be a point of deep media concern, when a Democrat is accused of slighting the press.

Sadly, the McClellan revelations and the Phase II report reveal that, despite their public penance, much of the media would rather ignore this whole matter of the lead up to war.
