BooMan makes an interesting point about certain progressive blogging circles:
...if you are waking each morning to blog about what a bunch of corporate whores the Democrats and the president are, you haven't really adjusted your style to the new situation in Washington. In fact, you are effectively denying that there is a new situation in Washington. You just brought over what you were doing during the Bush administration and turned your guns on the Obama administration.
I don't know how prevalent this is, and there's no way of knowing for sure. But I can certainly see evidence that it could be happening -- perhaps motivated by comfort, traffic or a genuine dislike of any political leadership regardless of ideology. Some people are just more comfortable shouting at the rain.
And just to be clear... Accountability is mandatory. I think there are more constructive and effective ways of going about it. Every job requires a unique set of tools. You don't use a hammer on a Phillip's head screw, etc, etc...
