On O'Rielly tonight Brit Hume said that if the Republicans back down and compromise on the budget bill in Wisconsin that this will give a black eye to the cause. He did not say, the Republican cause, but the cause. Can you imagine Huntley, Brinkley, Cronkite, Jennings, Brokaw, Chancellor, Rather or any of the broadcasters who took journalism seriously, so closely identifying themselves with this kind of political issue.

Their biggest mistake, in my opinion, is their conceit. They are so sure they are right and that their opponents are weak and powerless that they are going to do and say the most outrageous things. Our country will continue to be tortured, but they will continue to go too far due to their hubris and this will be their undoing.
