How low can they go?

Yesterday we had Mickey Kaus wondering whether Howard Dean's position on the Iraq war was political opportunism based on no evidence other than his own wild-ass speculation.

Today we have Howard Kurtz wondering whether the discovery of the body of Dean's brother might have had something to do with with Dean running for president.

Cynicism is rampant in the media establishment. It has bled down into the electorate. Is it any wonder so many people are disenchanted with our system?
