Piffle

AP's Tom Raum has an "AP Analysis" piece on the Bolton nomination. There is news, there is editorial opinion and there is analysis. The Raum piece is editorial opinion gussied up as analysis. It's full of Bush-is-stubborn-won't-back-down, and has not a jot that either Democrats or other world figures are stubborn and might consider backing down. As a Democrat opinion piece or Democrat talking points, it's middling: nothing we haven't seen umpteen times before. As "analysis," it's piffle.
