Finally, someone other than yours truly knocks Jeff Greenfield.
I have long thought this twerp is the
HANS VON KALTENBORN of our time. Remember Hans? You don't? You should, for one reason: on Election Night 1948 Kaltenborn flatly trumpeted how the CI-teeh VOOTE and the COUN-treeh VOOTE would win the election for Tom Dewey.
At a press conference before his inauguration Harry Truman made nasty fun of Kaltenborn's reporting and his oracular speaking style. Today it's all he's remembered for. Jeff doesn't even have the advantage of being wrong.
