A Word About Glenn Greenwald

If you've followed this blog regularly, you'll know that I tend to disagree with Glenn on several issues, most recently his somewhat ambivalent position on Citizens United, for example. I also don't quite share his prioritizing of the issues or his constant ax-grinding against anyone who gives the president some latitude.

But I have to say, we need more of Glenn on television. Much more. His appearance on This Week yesterday was staggeringly good.

Not surprisingly, he was quick, smart, brutally articulate and aggressive without being obnoxious. If only he didn't live in Rio most of the time and could inject himself into the discourse on cable news, I think the ultimate result would be a stronger left.

And I found myself agreeing with him on Elena Kagan.
