Slate's Will Saletan on NPR - Kucinich Catch Phrases
I just heard this smarminess earlier this afternoon. It was all cynical and smug and snappy, trying to paint DK in the same cynical light.

It was like the Conventional Wisdom watch in Newsweek, which I thought was kind of cool when I was a kid, but now seems disgusting to me.

Is someone really paying this guy to hack up (Democrat's naturally) speeches and then turn them into condescending little sound bites of his own?

Honestly, what a waste of air time, especially when someone with actual analysis skills could be talking about how these candidates differ from Bush and his impoverished policies.

Did anyone else hear it? I'm glad I didn't hear it for any of the other candidates - one was enough to make my blood boil.

1. I heard the one on Al Sharpton
Cynical and smug to be sure, but I thought his commentary was right on target.
