I Think He Means Placental Barrier, But its a Really Nice Turn of Phrase Anyway.

"Maybe Anthony Weiner should have manned-up and run against Michael Bloomberg," shot back a White House official, who attributed the night’s results across the board to anti-incumbent fervor.


A White House official who is too cowardly even to attach his own name to his comments -- who has to hide behind Politico's permanently extended fetal wall of anonymity in order to criticize a member of Congress -- simultaneously accuses Anthony Weiner of being a coward and failing to "man-up."


Atrios, as usual, nails it. Ultimately the pundits and the White House prefer a stable, muzzled, populace to real, messy, democracy.
