Irrelevance

How do you know when a member of the DC punditry class has become irrelevant? You head over to memeorandum and see how many people have commented on his or hers latest offering. Judging from the comments on the latest brain fart from David Ignatius he qualifies as irrelevant. As of 2:45 PM PDT there are exactly 4 responses. Yes, I know it's Sunday and there is less activity but there are nearly 20 reactions to a Think Progress post on how no body would go on Fox News and defend Alberto Gonzales. If there is one thing that is worse for the DC punditry than being dressed down by the blogosphere it must be simply ignored.
