The most obvious takeaway from the "Attaboy Joe" editorials and commentaries is NOT that they're offering sincere thanks for a fine president's selfless act.

No, they're congratulating themselves, having played a central role in hounding him off the ticket..

Keep that in mind, because they'll try again -- but only with Democrats since Republicans hold journalism in pure contempt.

God I want journalism that respects the people it claims to serve.
