Talking Points Memo Responds to Rosenthal

Now, if Rosenthal doesn't mind that readers are coming away with this mis-impression, that's fine. It's his newspaper. But if he does mind, then a small fix might be worth thinking about. Rosenthal doesn't think a reporting credit is a good idea because it will take a line or two of space away from the columnist. But really, civilization as we know it will not grind to a halt if we get 10 less words from Dowd on any given day.
