I've plugged KCRW's "Left, Right & Center" before, but even if you don't podcast it, you've got to check out the simply delightful beatdown Robert Scheer gave Matt Miller Friday (most recent episode on this list).
Miller, ever the Clintonite, was quoting approvingly David Brooks' annoying op-ed on the Democratic debates, and Scheer would have absolutely none of it.
Bravo.
UPDATE
The passage I'm referring to starts around 10:40.
UPDATE 2
Jon in comments questions my use of the word, "Clintonite." Let me be clear -- it was in no way meant to be a pejorative, and though I've been critical of Hillary, I've also been critical of Obama. My point was only that Miller was in the Clinton administration, is still clearly a Clinton devotee, and in this instance, thought Brooks' imagined Hillary -- sticking it to "Santa Monica liberals" -- was all good.
The other points that Jon makes about Miller's DLC-ish, tired, one-note, "where is the middle ground with which I can discredit the far left" drone, are spot on -- and I couldn't agree more.
