Editors worked the GOP soundbite into the piece at two points, although Fallows himself never mouthed it. And you could hardly blame a mag for putting a fang into such a pol's mouth. On this count, Fallows fails badly. Unfortunately, at the final Gore-Bradley debate in New Hampshire, Bradley himself was still representing his own health plan in precisely the way which Fallows rejects. As a simple term paper by a college freshman, stuff like this would be hard to peddle.
Schoolboys like to draw funny teeth on pictures of people whom they disfavor.
As our discourse continues its downward spiral, this practice has reached the Atlantic. Wisely, Bruni broke that news right in his opening paragraph. But one part of the session was worthy of note. I don't think in the fall that the press is going to have the same love affair with Gore that they had with John McCain. Well I think they don't like him so much.
