MOE LANE:

The White House press pool is being given the mushroom treatment; and they know that they?re being given the mushroom treatment. But they don?t want to respond appropriately ? which is to say, stop letting Robert Gibbs define what are or are not appropriate questions to ask. Until that happens ? and the press corps internalizes the notion that Gibbs and the administration needs them a hell of a lot more than they need Gibbs and the administration ? they?ll keep getting the mushroom treatment.

I?d be sympathetic, except that elections have consequences.

They expected to be lied to. They just expected the lies to be . . . better.

UPDATE: Much more from Ed Driscoll.
