Two of my favorite journalists are Michael Kinsley and Christopher Hitchens, Kinsley because of his calm, relentlessly logical parsing of bullcrap, and Hitchens because he’s almost always either brilliant or hilariously insane or both.
Anyway, each of them has a fine dissection of campaign nonsense currently on Slate. Kinsley on John McCain making lack of experience a cornerstone of his case against Obama and then picking as a running mate the least experienced person imaginable, and Hitchens on the Democrats accusing McCain of having the gall to be wealthy.
By the way, here’s a little taste of Hitchens at his appalling/hilarious best/worst.
