If that were true, of course, we’d typically be days behind newscycle-wise. You would be amused—or perplexed—to know oftentimes how much work it takes to get a few words out of some GOP offices. Far from working arm in arm (which I wouldn’t want anyway), I often see Jon Corzine’s deal before I see NAME JUST ABOUT ANY REPUBLICAN POL’s take on an issue. More than one high-ranking Hill type has said to me the likes of: I love NRO. And it is so useful. Something breaks, I have no idea what the White House is thinking, what the other side of the Hill is thinking, but I get what conservatives are thinking. Now, of course, there will be more than one conservative view often, even in The Corner. I think, at heart, that e-mailer AS published doesn’t a) read NRO b) read NRO enough to know that not even NRO writers (even besides Derb) agree with each other on everything c) read NRO enough to know sometimes the White House and Republicans in Congress wish we would shut up and stop criticizing them d) basically, again, he just doesn’t read NRO.
