If this doesn't make you want to grab Ewick Ewickson by his greasy ankles and use him to pound David Broder into the ground like a tent stake, then pally, you got no heart inya.
I fear it is getting to the point that these clowns, Broder, Brooks, etc. are not worth your notice, which would be a real loss for the snark/rage fetishists among us.
One hungover Sunday morning in the 80s, I'm walking down a side street with the Trib + NY Times + maybe the Sun Times under my arm. Old guy (like, my age now) walking his dog asks me why so many papers and what I like to read in each. Recognize him right away, saw him a time or two before. Sadly, despite being a huge fan even then, I can't remember saying much of anything intelligent to him. I remember petting the dog.
God, I miss reading Royko. Gilly too (opening week, FTFY). The medium can change, but talent shines through. I include you in that sentiment, Drifty.
