I Am A Very Famous Journalist

I think Richard Cohen is actually some character being played by Andy Kaufmann:

But Milbank’s not the only Post staffer who’s been dropped from the left’s Christmas card list.

“I used to get a lot more on the right,” said columnist Richard Cohen, who broke with liberals when he supported the Iraq war. More recently, the left has picked apart columns that are perceived as being favorable to John McCain.

“If you’re a little bit critical of Barack Obama, you get really a pie of vilification right in the face,” Cohen said, adding that his liberal critics “were born too late, because they would have been great communists.”

Cohen, the guy who said "only a fool, or a Frechman" would dispute Colin Powell's presentation on Iraq WMD at the UN, lost his credibility years ago. But Fred Hiatt forgot to tell him, so he continues along as if he's just the smartest man in America. He doesn't recognize that a whole lot of liberal bloggers freely criticize Obama, too. What we have little patience for is rampant, relentless stupidity. Which is what defines Cohen.

Cohen was obviously born too late and in the wrong country, because with his silencing of all dissent and belief in his own superiority, he would have made a great African dictator.
