Well, the headline says hogwash but the copy is better:
David Yepsen, the dean of the Iowa political press (sic), writes:Tom Vilsack's withdrawl from the 2008 race for president is bad news [...] For those offering the most strident anti-war messages. (They also didn't go the distance for Howard Dean four years ago.) [...]
Vilsack's departure is also evidence a strong anti-war message isn't enough. Today, everybody wants out of Iraq and bashes the war. The question is finding a credible way to do it, and Democrats are having trouble agreeing on a plan.
Bullshit. Vilsack was never a credible anti-war voice.
In reality, Vilsack's departure is bad news for 1) those without credibility on Iraq, and 2) for no-name obscure candidates easily overshadowed by the Democratic titans slugging it out at the top.
Glad to see that the dean of the blogosphere sees through the "dean" of the Iowa press corps. Maybe everyone will soon figure out Yepsen's The Overrated One and start going to Mike Glover for their meta-interviews.
