Turn On the News

(The section heading is from Husker Du’s classic “Zen Arcade,” which I happen to be listening to at the moment…)

The exterior headline on this CNN article on Tom Daschle’s going to HHS was “Obama Staff Picks Criticized.” By who? I wondered, knowing full well. Yes, the Republicans were criticizing the president-elect for naming too many former Clinton vets, or too many Clintons, too many Democrats, too many humans… I don’t know and I don’t care. That they would carp isn’t news and isn’t really relevant if the picks are good ones that are going to execute. The real news was the Daschle pick itself, but as usual the “liberal” media tries to play up what the right has to say.
