I do wonder in Deborah Howell, the Post's ombudsman, will weigh in on this. I wrote to Greg Sargent, and my guess to him was that Cohen would ignore his e-mail, or offer a Klein-like response, if you followed the latest Klein debacle. Bro, you’re right on.

I think Cohen and Joe Klein at Time are competing for who can publish the most outragous lies and be the most intellectually shallow idiot that writes a column. Just when I think there is a clear winner the other comes up with something even more idiotic and blatantly false. The fact that they are allowed by their editors and employers to publish outright lies are just an indication that what were once at least somewhat respected publications are now nothing more than propoganda mills. They are a law suit waiting to happen and I think the only thing stopping it is their employer's deep pockets. Although they are columnists and are allowed to state their opinions freely they should not be allowed by their editors to make blatantly false statements in support of their opinions. You'd think the credibility damage being done to their respective publications would inspire the others who write for those publications, or the editorial boards, to put a stop to it, but what the hell Thomas Friedman at the NYT and others have been doing it for years and getting away with it so this is not exactly a new phenomenom.
