Matt Bai was certainly not surprised, as evidenced by his June 5 column on his Yahoo News blog.
Thanks for fixing the link. I see that Matt Bai did get a one-second mention.
Yes. Sorry about the mistaken link earlier.
I love it how when a politico in the U.S. makes a mistake, the media immediately wants to know who is responsible and who will be held accountable. But when it is the media who messed up, they say "I don't think we should be looking backwards". Well, I want to know how the media screwed it up and whose heads are going to roll because of this screw-up. Someone has to pay, right?
