The subject: This administration’s lack of transparency!
The spokesperson for the Left: Jane Hamsher, of FireDogLake!
The battle:
…called on account of mutual agreement, more or less.
Sorry: normally I’d be more than happy to whale on Ms. Hamsher, but I’ve watched this particular segment twice – and aside from her tacit disagreement with Brian that this isn’t unexpected behavior (or isn’t better than President’s Bush’s) I’ve got nothing legitimate to toss at her. And since I’m not going to make something up, I’ll just end it with a “Good job” to Brian for getting on the record that yea, indeed, we on the Right are not surprised by the current state of affairs re transparency.
Oh, and that we’re glad to hear that there will be criticism from the Left on this issue as well.

Outstanding job, Brian!
azaeroprof (Diary) Monday, June 22nd at 10:45PM EST (link)We would all be well-served to have articulate, knowledgable spokesmen like Brian out there. And it IS amazing that, not only did Brian and Ms. Hamsher pretty much agree, but even the MSDNC host couldn’t offer any kool-aid tonic either!
He actually looked kinda disappointed.
TNJim (Diary) Monday, June 22nd at 10:49PM EST (link)He was probably expecting a fight, and didn’t get one.
Kudos, Brian. Great job!
The MSDNC host, that is. nt

Barack Obama made my job easy today. All I had to do was go out and tell the unvarnished truth, without any spin. How hard is that?
in the ObaMedia?

This is one where left and right agree...
wesmorgan Monday, June 22nd at 11:42PM EST (link)…because there’s no shortage of voices from the left criticizing Obama for his lack of (promised) transparency.
So that's what Brian looks like...?
NeoKong (Diary) Monday, June 22nd at 11:46PM EST (link)It;s nice to match a face to the words.
Nice tie.
He did a good job.
