The Zeitgeist Checklist Checklist: Have You Caught the Musharraf Fever?
This is Dana Milbank's lastZeitgeist Checklistbefore his unfortunate book leave , so we'll be gentle. The checklist run inThe Poston Sundays. Sure, it runs in Slate on Friday nights or Saturdays, but no one reads Slate on weekends, fer chrissakes. What we're getting at is, for a column that runs on a Sunday and is meant to, in a sense, predict or explain the coming week (are we wrong?), it's unfortunate that the only thing anyone isactually talking about this week is listed at number seven andfalling(losing toPervez Musharraf!)
Thankfully,Postenvironmental writer Michael Grunwald will be writing the Checklist in Milbank's absense. Grunwald will be filing from Florida, where he's sure to pick up on more of that inside-the-Beltway chatter than Dana could manage.
Don't worry, Dana, we'll get to the book later.
