Want a little short-hand for what's next in the cynical, sexist world of political media? Joan Walsh of Salon.com on Hardball just now, argued that when Hillary Clinton attacks Barack Obama on the massive experience gap in their resumes, "she just sounds like the mean old woman." But John McCain? He can get away with it, because he's the wise old man. It's a potential winner for the Republican. Remember that narrative. You'll be hearing it again.
My Dirty Life & Times
- Tom Watson is a journalist, author, media critic, entrepreneur and consultant who has worked at the confluence of media technology and social change for more than 20 years. This long-running blog is my personal outlet - an idiosyncratic view of the world. "My dirty life and times" is a nod to the late, great Warren Zevon because some days I feel like my shadow's casting me.
