Jane Hamsher kicks stupid's butt here:
As Emptywheel notes:
Look at what was happening here. Mitchell was trying to talk down to Jane, to suggest that she was being naive for suggesting that Bayh, and not progressives, should back down and accept the public option. In doing so, Mitchell was committing journalistic fraud--anyone presenting these issues and pretending this is about Bayh's "conservative Democrats in his state" and not his wife and donors is simply committing journalistic fraud. So Jane turned it on Mitchell, suggesting Mitchell was the stupid one.
I am still waiting for Blue Cross Dems to come out doing their insurance corporation choreographed Kabuki dance to explain how flipping a few Senators is impossible but flipping a hundred House Reps. is easy...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for commenting on this.
You rock hard!
Heh.
I love watching Andrea Mitchell get pwned by a lowly blogger, and not knowing what to say to someone who is not a beltway insider spitting back the "common knowledge."
That was as close to the Blue Screen of Death as I have ever seen Mitchell get.

There is too much beltway "common knowledge" and not enough common sense these days.
That was as close to the Blue Screen of Death as I have ever seen Mitchell get.
Thanks for sharing...
