Missing the Point

What does it look like when a nationally-respected journalist misses the point? Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post demonstrates:

There is something rich about the president of the United States and the speaker of the House pretending that they are somehow not part of Washington. If these two aren't Washington, what is? The International Spy Museum? Ben's Chili Bowl? Wolf Blitzer?

Generally, people presume professional journalists aren't so superficial. Mr. Milbank corrects that mistaken notion without much room for question.
