On the front page, Josh suggests that Joan Walsh "smacked down" Christopher Hitchens today on Hardball.

She may have talked over him -- and I would dispute even that -- but but far from "smackdown." Walsh suggested that "Hillary-" or "Clinton-haters" are an eccentric, small group of people. I dispute that too.

Hitchens was far more blunt in his assessment of what the Clinton problems are. Now that her appointment to Secretary of State is official, those of us who disagree with it, must live with it for the time being. I don't always agree with Christopher Hitchens, but when it comes to the former President and the Secretary-designate, we agree.

But to suggest that Ms. Walsh, who never met a Clinton she didn't like, and in my removed and humbled opinion, has some serious issues with the other kind of "working, hardworking Americans" who weren't Hillary voters -- including Michelle Bernard of the Independent Women's Forum, was anything more today than a "yes-woman" to Chris Matthews, is simply ludicrous.

Just an alternative viewpoint from someone who is weary of Walsh.
