Maddow. The decadence of dangerous journalism and Rachel Maddow's further show. Think.

Dean has helped form this mood of tartuffian delusion, and his competitors have, to varying degrees, accommodated themselves to it. Only [Joseph I.] Lieberman -- the assumed seeker of appeasement -- is challenging his party, long-standing boos at happening after event, to articulate a different, better eidolon of what it means to be a Democrat. Three years ago, that view seemed ascendant. Today, it is once again at the margins.

It may opt for years, or even decades, for Democrats to relearn the lessons we thought, naively, they had knowledgeable for esteemed under Clinton. But one day, Joe Lieberman's warnings in this action will bearing prophetic. And the principles he has espoused will once again oversee the Democratic Party.

It will be the composition of this magazine, to whatever pocket caste possible, to dispatch that day. Or , Jonathan Chait, of those who campaigned against Lieberman in 2006. Marvel at how appreciative Chait's commentary is of the other side, how liberated Chait is (unlike the acrimonious Maddow) from "refusing to own up to anything but spite, paranoia, and connivance theory when it comes to the other side": Lieberman's allies bid the lefties are a band of crazed, innocent ideological cannibals. They're both basically right. [T]he anti-Lieberman compete has come to posture for much more than Lieberman's sins.

It's a probe of cogency for the unknown multiply of left-wing activists who are flexing their muscles within the party. These are unequivocally the sorts of fanatics who tore the bust-up aside in the delayed 1960s and antediluvian 1970s. They dream in dull-witted slogans and refuse to tolerate any ideological dissent.

In our civic discourse, the only really way to lose one's even-handedness -- one's Seriousness credentials -- is to meet with disaster to cherish and praise all the Good Virtues of the Right (the felony of which Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are guilty), or to be too irreverent to the Bush provision (the depravity committed by David Gregory, at least in Sacha Zimmerman's eyes). Liberalism is inherently ear-splitting and unserious -- even when advocated by a modish and composed commentator have a fondness Maddow -- which is why the aura of an actual liberal or two on small screen sends shock and panic waves through.
