I posted yesterday about the off-the-record meeting between the White House and a group of mostly liberal columnists and commentators -- including MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann, Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times, Gloria Borger and Gwen Ifill, among others.

I was puzzled about the wisdom of this...and the "not a news network" was making hay commenting on it.

But last night Olbermann and Maddow spoke briefly about the meeting and explained ...

Turns out that Monday's meeting was the liberal/moderate version of the conservative  meeting that President Obama had earlier this year at George Will's house. Remember? He had dinner with columnists and commentators, Charles Krauthammer, William Kristol, Larry Kudlow, David Brooks, Rich Lowry, Peggy Noonan, Michael Barone, and Paul Gigot.

I know it's hard to tell the bloviators apart...but looks like Obama was just giving everybody equal time.

BTW - Fox News is in hog heaven about its 'fight' with the WH...devoting hours of news coverage and commentary to it. Talk about yer ratings candy....
