...assume for the sake of argument it's possible for that phrase to be taken in a good way.) Thoroughness, yes. Crack, thoughtful analysts and reporters, sure. But CNN's coverage tonight lacks any sense of excitement and urgency. Bill Schneider, Bernard Shaw, Judy Woodruff and Jeff Greenfield, spread out along a giant desk, come across at times like four strangers laconically chatting while waiting for a bus. And though I admire the guy and hate to say it, you've gotta place some of the blame on Bernard Shaw, sheathed in his 12-inch bulletproof coating of gravitas...

When Bush addressed the question, he said, "I'm absolutely confident that everybody that has been put to death is two things: one, they're guilty of the crime charged, and secondly, they had full access to our courts." When asked in the past what had been his biggest mistake in life, he didn't cite anything weightier than trading away...
...call yourself a reporter!" huffed the Kingfish. "He's the host of Imus in the Morning, a radio show that mixes interviews of big-time politicians and media stars like Tim Russert and Jeff Greenfield with sophomoric satire and juvenile racial humor. The inside-the-Beltway crowd worships and fears...
