BEST QUOTE THIS WEEK

Howard Kurtz: "I started pondering this when we all got swept up in the spectacle of Hilary Rosen denigrating Ann Romney for not working... That, in turn, followed our collective enthrallment over Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom describing their Etch a Sketch operation, which in turn followed the uproar over Rush Limbaugh calling a law student a slut, which followed...well, it's hard to remember at this point."

"Each of these episodes, considered separately, contains elements of substance that were soon overwhelmed by the rhetoric emanating from the media echo chamber. Collectively, they suggest that what should be a serious campaign in hard economic times has turned into a spectacle in which we are amusing ourselves to death."
