That Thing They Do!

In today’s Washington Post, Dan Balz does that thing that reporters do:
Edwards has offended many Democrats with his candidacy. They question his authenticity and see his shift from optimism to anger as the sign of an opportunistic politician. He and his most loyal supporters argue that that’s not the case, that the Edwards of 2008 is a reflection of a changed country and his and his wife’s changed personal situation.
Now let’s see. Hmmm. Where would people have gotten the idea that Edwards was a hypocrite, or that his shift from optimism to anger was the “sign of an opportunistic politician“? Wait, just wait - it’ll come to me…
