Politico: ‘Bloggers unleash fury on optimistic op-ed.’

Today, the Politico covers the reaction to the “optimistic” New York Times op-ed by Brookings analysts Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack, calling it “a more furious ideological shootout than has been sparked by any recent development on the battleground or action by the Bush administration.” From the article:

“Often Wrong, But Never In Doubt” was the headline on the progressive Think Progress blog of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. The posting, which asserted O’Hanlon and Pollack were “embarking on a public relations tour calling for stay the course,” drew 228 comments. A printout runs 56 pages. Elsewhere, the site accused the two of “shilling.”

O’Hanlon is the brother-in-law of Politico editor-in-chief John F. Harris.
