Hey, a new award, and this time a nice one. It’s an award for bloggers – or anyone else for the matter – who are prepared to alienate their core readership with some unpleasant truths. Matt Yglesias wins the first one and gets the eternal glory and fame that comes with a mention on this blog. His winning item:
I think I should point out that despite the large role the DHS bait-and-switch and the outrageous treatment of Max Cleland now plays in liberal mythology, Democrats should keep in mind that that was ultimately a debacle of their own making. The entire DHS concept was cooked up initially as a Democratic Party political ploy and never made a huge amount of sense.
Good stuff. Keep the honesty coming. If you see a right- or left-wing writer fessing up to their own side’s errors or mistakes, let me know. We need more of it.
