Liberalism Sure Isn't What It Used to Be
Change truly has come to the nation. Change of all kinds. Even some words are changing their meanings. Like, for example, "liberal."
Balloon Juice points us to this…
Forbes.com has its list of the “The 25 Most Influential Liberals In The U.S. Media“. Here’s some of the people on the list: Maureen Dowd, Tom Friedman, Chris Hitchens, Andrew Sullivan, Fareed Zakaria, Fred Hiatt.
Come on! Where's Christopher Buckley? He said something nice about Barack Obama once. What about Joe Scarborough? He's on MSNBC; that must qualify him as a liberal, right?
Wait a minute! Scott McClellan's not on the list? He wrote a book that was critical of his time spent in Bush's administration. If that doesn't make you a liberal, what does?
And, really, couldn't we get Sean Hannity on that list? He supports the Emancipation Proclamation. Doesn't that qualify him for consideration?

For the record, Christopher Buckley is a libertarian, and a damn fine author.
Talk about an agenda-driven list. I suppose Steve Forbes considers himself a centrist.
