Hendrick Hertzberg now officially a hack

I was sad to see this remarkably mendacious and small-minded essay by Hendrik Hertzberg in the New Yorker, but I've not been in the business of collecting the informed-only-by-groupthink attacks from liberals on HRC, and I figured that, ok, he's got a little problem, but after the nomination process he'll get back to being ok. But, no. Here's the great Digby on Hertzberg's praise of Chris Matthews.

This is the kind of post I've been not wanting to write, which is a big part of the reason I haven't been blogging much. The whole enterprise of public comment is just too depressing.
