Chuckles

So...Chuck Todd (perfectly understandable if you're reaction is "Who?") has written a book called The Stranger in which he takes potshots at President Obama.

Leaving aside the fact that the Meet the Press moderator must have only read the Cliff's Notes version of Albert Camus' esteemed novel, why is anyone surprised by this?  The only people who read books like this are either a) insiders, or b) old white people (probably the same ones who are the only people to actually watch his show).  For insiders, it reinforces their world view of Obama; old white people voted against him overwhelmingly twice and it will only reinforce their hatred of the President.

Todd didn't set out to write a Pulitzer winner--he set out to make money.  Hatin' on the Democrats is a (minor) lottery winner.

Just ask Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, ad nauseum.

Peace,
