    This has the tone that people should somehow be appalled that he is not part of the Washington insider crowd.

    It's much in the same way that a writer would goad his audience in a story about a botched surgery by revealing that the surgeon hadn't graduated med school.

    "Can you believe that??? He DOESN'T HANG OUT AT THE CAPITOL GRILLE!!"

    I look at about 90% of the political magazines in the world and say "Who fucking pays to subscribe to this?" The New Republic is one of them.

    I read the New Republic–every week.

    No publication covers Congress as well. Its cover story on immigration several weeks ago was the best story I've read since some other TNR story. Maybe only the Atlantic Monthly has so much excellent writing on unusual topics.

    TNR swings for the fences. It misses on occasion. But the bad articles are not memorable. The best articles change the way I think.
