American Democracy in Action

[monk222]

♠
Andrew Sullivan has a nice take on the recent campaign skirmish between Obama and the Clinton camp over Maureen Dowd's interview with Hollywood bigwig David Geffen:

But whoever you think got the upper hand, there's one aspect to the incident that merits more notice. This was a classic political A-list dust-up. It got national attention. It was the first real skirmish in the presidential campaign. And no straight white men were central players. This was an openly gay man dishing to a female reporter about a black man's threat to another woman's campaign. Yes, the mud flew. But look who was throwing it.

This is progress?
