"base" and after a time stop offering anything insightful.

Like a Picasso stuck in a color period, endlessly churning out the same old thing cause there's a market for it.

Since you are the market Pitt is writing for, of course you think the comment is "disgusting".

But there is validity to the criticism of Pitt's last two OP's.

And the fact so many DU'ers can't even consider that is why I spend so little time on DU.

And it's sad to say, but Pitt seems to have become mostly a "niche blogger".

Personally, as a fan of his, I think he should stop writing about politics entirely for a while and write about parenting or something else… and let politics be a subtle thread when he writes about a different topic.
