@brianbeutler Or that Ws public *displays* of insensitivity, arrogance and incompetence wasn't a political problem? -
@ron_fournier maybe in toto. I'm not saying p.r. doesn't matter at all either. That's not what my piece was about, though. -
@brianbeutler Re-read your piece. It did argue that critics of Obama's p.r. should shut the hell up. -
@ron_fournier no it didn't! It actually said the opposite! -
@brianbeutler will re-read. g'nite. -
@ron_fournier "If political writers want to engage in it, I guess that's their business." -
