Quotation of the Day for May 7, 2013



"The most consistent and ultimately damaging failure of political journalism in America has its roots in the clubby/cocktail personal relationships that inevitably develop between politicians and journalists--in Washington or anywhere else where they meet on a day-to-day basis. When professional antagonists become after-hours drinking buddies, they are not likely to turn each other in."

- Hunter S. Thompson, from Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.

[The submitter notes: submitted in honor of this past weekend's White House Correspondents' Dinner.]
