The Victorian gentleman approves

Borrowing a metaphor from Tom Wolfe, Scott Hinderaker notices the success of the media in finding the "seemly sentiment" in this year's campaign.

BTW, I just heard back from Rusty Shackleford, who is absolutely mobbed with reporters trying to get the scoop on the Obama astroturf campaign against Sarah Palin.

Rusty's being mobbed, I tell you! Campbell Brown, David Gregory, Keith Olbermann -- these objective news people are just chomping at the bit to run with that story. Fourteen satellite trucks are parked outside Chez Shackleford as reporters await some word -- any word -- on how Rusty cracked this big scoop.
