Richard Cohen Sizes Up The President
It looks like New York Governor Patterson's feckless term has become of interest to the leader of the national Democratic Party, one Mr. Barack Obama. Richard Cohen does a fine job of describing what it is like to stand between Mr. Obama and his goals. Say what you want about the President--he clearly seems to know how to wield power in a fashion that would make Machiavelli proud.

"The Defenestration of New York happened just the other day when Barack Obama tossed New York Gov. David Paterson out of a window, landing him not on a pile of manure but on the front page of the New York Times. In its political consequences, this is a distinction without difference."
Perhaps he felt obliged to make the distinction, politically, because a dung pile and the front page (or any of the subsequent pages) of the NYT are indeed without difference.
Great article.
