JOSH MARSHALL WINS A POLK AWARD and gets a nice write-up in the NYT. (Am I supposed to punish the NYT for the dreadful McCain story? I’ve got to make an exception and link to this.) “[H]e operates a long way from the clichéd pajama-wearing, coffee-sipping commentator on the news.” Dammit, where’s my coffee? And enough with the pajamas cliché — which is a cliché even when you’re calling it a cliché.

By the way, speaking of clichés: Have you noticed you never see MSM articles carping about bloggers anymore? Like this one from back in September 2006. Actually, I think that one was so dumb that no one ever wrote another one.
