I haven’t read Josh Marshall in a while, but I checked him out this morning. When did he become so shrill? In his argument about Plame etc, he makes some fine debating points, but he constantly excludes the possibility there could be a good-faith and/or intelligent response to any of them.

I thought his appeal was a certain level of (sometimes condescending) detachment and reserve. Now, he seems to have become a ranter. It’d be too bad if that were permanently the case, since it’s not like the leftwing blogosphere needs more ranters.
