How the liberal mind works

This is a long (57 minutes) interview of Fran Rich by Brian Lamb of C-Span.  It is particularly interesting in that it reveals quite clearly the approach to issues and events by a true blue liberal.  Rich is a product of the Washington/New York axis of media elites who don't think the rest of the country matters all that much.  Most of his opinions and views are about politics, or so it seems from this interview.  There is little or no mention of economics and capitalism and all the real stuff that makes the world go around.  Rich very much lives in the liberal cocoon of interests and thoughts reflected in the famous remark by one of the TV anchors who once said no one he knew approved of the Iraq intervention by the Bush administration.  Rich was a theatre critic before his gig as an op-ed contributor to the NYTimes, where he has been employed many years.  Interestingly he seems recently to have soured on Obama although not in this interview which took place before the election of '08.
