Your Liberal Media

What’s does Charlie Pierce say about reading Politico? Something like, “reading Tiger Beat on the Potomac makes me want to gargle antifreeze, Part The Infinity”?

Yeah, pretty much.

Adding [Sen. Elizabeth] Warren [to the Senate leadership team], Democrats say, would bring in a nationally known name who could help sharpen the Democratic message as it goes toe-to-toe with the new Senate Republican majority. The move would likely be viewed favorably by an increasingly liberal caucus.

But elevating Warren could also be seen as an indication that the new Senate Democratic minority is less interested in bipartisan compromises than the White House or Senate Republicans.

Well, we wouldn’t want to give any indications, would we? We wouldn’t want to send a signal?

We certainly wouldn’t want to give the impression that we’re less interested in compromise than the Republicans.

No, Ma’am.

Not us.

No way.
