It wont be an easy balancing act as is evident from the discussion here.

As Glenn Greenwald so tirelessly reminds us, David Broder and George F. Will are two highly regarded, senior members of the beltway pundit class. We know that a closer to the truth description is that they are two highly partisan columinists who simply "make shit up". They have no consistency or strong principle in their opinions...but they influence the direction of events....they argued for impeachment, ten years ago, and there was impeachment, on much less actually important justification and implication than there are today. Today, they help keep a lid on "impeachment talk"....relegating it to the fringe.
It is they who are on the fringe, in a reality based political universe, but they have the microphone, as they did in 1998.
