Hmmm: the thought of Dan smoking over a slow fire is an enjoyable one. (It also reminds me that it's almost lunch time). That said, I don't believe that taking him down will dissuade other Media types from continuing to act as paid spokespersons for the Democrat Party. They are, as a group, far too arrogant and politically rigid to back off. They will, instead, rationalize (I'm smarter and more careful), temporize (this will all blow over soon), and criticize (those &^%$!! Republicans). That's why we need to focus on their Democrat enablers - the ones who feed them the stories, leaks, and deep background material with which to do their bidding.
Let's do both. Just as we are perfectly capable of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq simultaneously, so also can we attack both sides of the media/DNC cabal.
