Cooper's sudden enlightenment doesn't hide crocodile tears

Atrios weighs in with the idea that Cooper actually got tired of Luskin spinning Rove’s legal case in the court of public opinion and figured Luskin was giving him an easy out, if Cooper wanted to spin it that way.

Of course, this points even harder at Cooper’s crocodile-tear performance, if he was willing to pontificate about this being a matter of highest journalistic principle and then resort to a hair-splitting tactic to keep his ass out of jail.

So, no, Matt, I don’t feel much less cynical about you than I did Friday afternoon.
