Thank you, Greg Mitchell

In journalism, the rule is, paraphrase, until somebody says something so good, you can't say it any better. And that's what Greg Mitchell has done today in a column on the website of journalism's bible, Editor & Publisher. Mitchell wonders just how White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has the nerve to lecture reporters on credibility (in the wake of the now-retracted Newsweek piece about a Koran being flushed down a toilet) when the Bush administration has huge credibility problems of its own.

Thus, I quote here.

And again, thank you Greg Mitchell.
