And I can't tell you how demoralized I am by Barbara Ehrenreich's partisanship.

The same way I was with Michael Moore, when he began campaigning with Nader in 2000.

Why do so many of our best thinkers, writers, artists, etc believe they have to publicly take sides and use their reputations like a bully pulpit?

My respect for them, and a number of others, has plummeted since this game on the left began in earnest in 2000.
