Irony on Hyperdrive!

Robert Musil goes on and on about the Isikoff/Hosenball Newsweek piece about the story that the Killian memo story DISPLACED, concluding that:
______

CBS News is "collaborating" with Josh Marshall to create Sixty Minute items. Isn't that nice. Given Mr. Marshall's comment above, his many personal agendas and his known degree of ability to maintain political objectivity, perhaps CBS News was actually fortunate that Mr. Marshall's item was displaced by that of Ms. Mapes.

Now that Mary Mapes is to be disintegrated for perpetrating a disastrous story from the depths of her uncontrolled hyper-partisan agenda there should be an opening for a permanent news producer on Sixty Minutes II. Maybe Mr. Marshall can fill that slot as a kind of funhouse mirror image of Mary Mapes? In fact, if Mr. Rather has to go, too, there might be an even bigger opportunity here for Mr. Marshall. Talk about funhouses!

Wow, somebody hates Josh Marshall! I enjoy the forged-documents-displaces-forged-documents irony, period.

Guess I'm just a dupe of the hysterical hyper-partisans over at the CBS politburo -- though I thought only the French made earnest use of the prefix 'hyper'...
