Jaffe on Milbank: Will He Have Any More Friends Left?

Harry Jaffe takes a look at Dana Milbank’s forthcoming “Homo Politicus” and reveals some jabs Milbank takes at Washington journalists:

  • Weekly Standard editor William Kristol is “choragus of a pro-Bush chorus,” whose cheerleading for the Iraq war “was reaching that of a Dionysian orgy.”

  • Milbank’s best specimen? Political analyst Mark Halperin, now with Time, whose online political Note for ABC News gave “the impression that the most important person in all Potomac Land was Halperin himself.”

  • (On Woodward) “The man who brought down Richard Nixon is Potomac Land’s authoritative choragus,” Milbank writes.
