What in the hell happened to Josh Marshall, and why did he sully himself to the point of being such a liar and sellout?
Short answer: It's the promise of riches, stupid. All of the other one-time amateur bloggers (excepting Huffington, who already WAS a paid pundit) had visions of one day becoming part of the punditocracy themselves, and with it, fame and fortune. If that meant lying about politicians like Al Gore or John McCain or Sarah Palin to hit the big time, all the better.
It's not hard to understand. The love of money is the root of all evil, just as the lack of money is also.

Just how did somebody as unqualified as Obama get as far as he has? It's a result of the "post-political culture" infecting this country like a virus.

Speaking of pundits or whatever, why is it Time's Joe Klein got kicked off the McCain campaign plane, and not while it was in the air, unfortunately?
