Michael Kazin warns his fellow liberals that, notwithstanding the praise Mitch Daniels has gotten from liberals, he is a conservative and therefore the enemy. Fine, I suppose, but Kazin also throws in every possible attack against Daniels, no matter how dubious — and finds a way to gratuitously mention his divorce. Some of the attacks are bizarre. “For Daniels . . . bipartisanship seems to consist of seducing journalists at what Hertzberg describes as a ‘Gilded Age’ mansion.” Leave aside the stupidity of this attack on a guy who got 24 percent of Democrats (and, interestingly, 20 percent of blacks) to vote for his reelection. Bloomberg View hosted Daniels. Should we really hold a media company’s architectural choices against him?
