Rightwing Hack Cokie Roberts Slams Biden for Using the Proper Word

Cokie Roberts is a shill for the far right. That's why it was amusing to see her criticize Joe Biden for referring to Bosnian Muslims as "Bosniaks." Roberts speculated that, had Palin done that, the lefties would be all over her. Earth to Shill - Biden was right, the proper word is "Bosniak."

I agree with some of your sentiment, but Cokie Roberts is not really a shill for the far-right.

She was actually quite pro-Clinton in his day.

I used to like her quite a bit because she seemed to "get" what people were thinking and was naturally clever in her insightful observations about how voters would view different circumstances and issues on the campaign trail, in a mode similar to David Gergen.

But I think she morphed into something else. It's like she "tries" to be the most clever one at the table now. The result is her insights aren't really that valuable, and in this case she gets caught being wrong - not clever.
