It is disappointing but not surprising that a key political columnist is wasting his byline on utterly predictable kneejerk reactions rather than shedding a little more light on one of the most significant political eras in US history.
Thirty years of post-Cold War politics has ended, and it's an abrupt and difficult transition into a new era, complicated by massive debt, likely default, collapsing alliances, and a destroyed social and economic base.
None of those issues are being written about or even thought about seriously by people sucking down huge salaries at these organisations, yet they're obvious to anybody with half a brain.
You have to read foreign preferably emerging market media to find anything worth reading about the United States these days.
This guy should be replaced. So should half the political columnists in America.
