		Weisberg is missing the point, however, which is that the bankruptcy of these views seems to have shone a piercing light on the bankruptcy of this particular political culture as a whole.
		Weisberg's piece, like Sontag's backtracking in her subsequent interview in Salon.com, is an attempt to redeem the label "left-liberal," without specifying what the post-9/11 content of this left-liberalism might be.
		Weisberg isn't in fact one of those people, but for some reason he has designated himself as their spokesman and apologist.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Do We Have to Worry About the Anti-War Movement? by Ronald Radosh
		Weisberg does not seem to believe that the airing of such views, given the imprimatur of major newspapers that such arguments are important, does a lot to legitimize their arguments and even to convince others of their worthiness.
		Most importantly, Jacob Weisberg ignores the fact that we are only a few months into a war that is just beginning, and after the final collapse of the Taliban, will undoubtedly become more difficult, and lead as well to more American casualties.
		If Jacob Weisberg were writing in 1965, let us say, he would undoubtedly as a liberal mainstream journalist have supported the war and ridiculed those who were concerned with the miniscule antiwar left.

	Lois Weisberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lois Weisberg is the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs in Chicago, Illinois.
		Renowned for the breadth of her acquaintanceship as well as for an ability to make keen and canny introductions, Weisberg was declared a connector by journalist Malcolm Gladwell in a January 11, 1999 New Yorker article titled "Six Degrees of Lois Weisberg." Portions of the article were republished in Gladwell's book The Tipping Point (2000).
		Lois Weisberg is the mother of Slate magazine's Jacob Weisberg.

		Everyone who knows Lois Weisberg has a story about meeting Lois Weisberg, and although she has done thousands of things in her life and met thousands of people, all the stories are pretty much the same.
		Jacob may be the capstone of my pyramid, but Lois is the capstone of lots and lots of people's pyramids, and that makes her social role different.
		They were of all ages and all colors, talking and laughing, swirling and turning in a loose circle, and in the middle, nearly hidden by the commotion, was Lois, clutching her white bag, tiny and large-eyed, at that moment the happiest person in the room.

		Jacob Weisberg has decided to set us all straightâ€”after first covering his colleague William Saletanâ€™s butt.
		Though Weisberg makes some important points earlier in his discourse, his conclusionâ€”inspired it seems by Daniel Dennettâ€”precisely and perversely reverses the burden of integrity and obscures the true character of this alleged conflict between religion and science.
		Here Weisberg entangles himself in what I think is an intractable difficultyâ€”the tar baby in his Brer Rabbit efforts to teaching those scientists how to behave.

	Salon Column \| It takes one to know one
		Weisberg's article was, in fact, almost a carbon copy of a piece by Joshua Micah Marshall that had appeared in the American Prospect a year earlier.
		Although Weisberg and Marshall strain bravely to pretend otherwise, the cause of the current controversy was the indisputable import of the evidence brought to light by the Soviet collapse.
		Weisberg's rancid fantasy is not only irresponsible toward the facts and destructive to the individual scholars under attack (here the author provides an ugly parallel to his notorious subject), it is ahistorical and anti-intellectual.

		Anyway, Weisberg's analogy makes little sense: In 1968 the Democrats split because their own president had failed either to win or to disengage from a stalemated war.

		Now Jacob Weisberg is arguing that the investigation isn't worth it because the evidence which he hasn't seen doesn't amount to much.

		Weisberg goes on to attack the Intelligence Identities Protection Act as a "flawed piece of legislation." Whether or not this is true is a separate issue.

	THE BELGRAVIA DISPATCH: Jacob Weisberg, Off-Message
		It's not as if I'm arguing with Weisberg's Big Idea (I'm not being snide, it's the name of the Slate feature he's writing for) that interest group conservatism has grown like kudzu in the summertime since Republicans got control of Congress.
		Weisberg is just spinning here, on behalf of a Clinton administration that adapted first to low approval ratings and later to a Republican Congress, but otherwise did little to break "the groups'" hold on the Democratic Party.
		What Weisberg is right about is that, as he says, "...the entire enterprise of running Washington as a special-interest spoils system breeds a bloated, ineffective government." People will put up with this kind of government in good times, but eventually it will breed discontent and cynicism directed at the party in power.

		WEISBERG (4/25): If you know Gore, you know he'll do essentially the same thing to Bush: rip into his flesh like a crazed weasel while grinning and promising never to make a "negative personal attack" against an opponent.

	BTC News » Jacob Weisberg sucks up to Tom Friedman
		What all these shrewd guys have in common is that, along with Weisberg, they shrewdly supported the worst foreign policy blunder in US history while the hapless Alterman somehow managed to arrive at the correct conclusion that invading Iraq would be a really, really stupid thing to do.
		His sin, and that of the others Weisberg slams, isn’t a lack of shrewdness but rather being right about the invasion when all the honor roll kids were wrong.
		The not-so-sub text of that conceit is that the guys who were wrong arrived at the wrong conclusion by virtue of their superior intellect, and are thus excused from any obligation to apologize for their superior stupidity, while people such as Alterman just guessed and therefore owe a debt to society for being right.
