Incredible Credulity

David Broder has been called (among other things) the ?Best Reporter,? ?Hardest Working,? and ?Least Ideological?; ?the high priest of political journalism?; and ?probably the most respected and influential political journalist in the country? who has ?few challengers as the most influential political journalist in the country.?

Despite that reputation (or perhaps because of it), Broder writes in the Washington Post this morning that the ?warning signs to both parties? in the recent Washington Post/ABC Poll ?should be a help as President Obama tries to spur a rebirth of bipartisanship in Washington.?

Believing that President Obama favors ?a rebirth of bipartisanship? is on a par with believing, say, that the citizens of the Soviet Union actually possessed rights to

a. freedom of speech;
b. freedom of the press;
c. freedom of assembly, including the holding of mass meetings;
d. freedom of street processions and demonstrations.
