Earning that Wingnut Welfare defending St. John

Digby has nailed the right's reactions to St. John's rare negative coverage. Crooks and Liars has Keith Olbermann looking at the same angles. Digby writes
... Did anyone really think their animosity for McCain was going to last through November? Please. They are all on wingnut welfare to one degree or another and there's no way in hell that they could continue to do their jobs in opposition to the Republican presidential nominee. It's ridiculous. I'm sure they all felt a huge sense of relief that they had finally found a hook to get back down to business, which is demeaning and destroying liberals on behalf of Republicans. This is not to say that they won't blame McCain for being a heretic and turncoat to conservatism when he loses in November. Their lizard brain logic will be "The liberal Democrat won because McCain wasn't conservative enough." But in the meantime, they had to find a way to earn their paycheck, and now they have their hook. ...
The right will I hope get plenty of exercise for those lizard brains this fall. I'm not so sure the American public will buy their foolishness this time. John Gunn
