Poor Richard Cohen - He really doesn't get it

I'm not going to send him an email, 'cause he won't bother to read it (he admits as much), but I'd like to sit him down and explain that for many of us, it's not that he didn't think Stephen Colbert was funny.

It's that he called Colbert "a bully" for not sucking up to W at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

It's that he actually thinks you shouldn't tell the President something he won't enjoy hearing.

It's that he thinks Democrats shouldn't be angry. We should just smile and elect someone else who might as well be a Republican - if we don't just let an actual Republican win.

It's that he actually admits that

Institution after institution failed America -- the presidency, Congress and the press. They all endorsed a war to rid Iraq of what it did not have

and yet doesn't think that we should be angry.
