Rothenberg Demeans Young Journo

Stu Rothenberg is a serious seasoned writer and political observer of Washington politics. But wasn’t the editor of the Rothenberg Political Report once in his 20s? In a Roll Call column on Thursday, Rothenberg, 62, snidely attacks a TalkingPointsMemo journalist for his youth and resume. The topic du jour was how the unpopularity of GOP governors might damage a Republican presidential candidate’s chances in 2012. He ridiculed a Politico story he called “dubious” followed by WaPo‘s “The Fix” blog written by Chris Cillizza.
