Slate’s Dave Weigel has a post up responding to my critique of his critique of Senator John McCain’s critique of Ambassador Susan Rice. (Don’t try this at home, folks! We are trained professionals.)

Weigel says he resents my implication that he based his post on one by Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum. It seemed logical to me because Weigel had touted the Mother Jones piece on Twitter but if he says his Slate piece was based on his own analysis of the Sunday news show transcripts, fine, I’ll take him at his word.
