^^^^^^^ CB: Anyway, who would have thunk that Gibbs even _cares_ about what the Professional Left complains about. To reply to Left criticisms is to give them credibility and legitimacy that ignoring them would not. It's a lefthanded compliment to the Left.

The Professional Left is now on the political map in a way it hasn't been for a while. In the past, it was called "Commies", "Pinkos", "Reds", "Traitors".

^^^^^ CB; Any rate, Gibbs thinks there is more of a coherent Left than Carrol does. Gibbs has created the 21st Century Left. Image is everything and he's Head Image Maker in Charge.
