Excerpt from, “Paul Ryan in Wonderland: Chapter Six” by John Cassidy,
March 12, 2013, The New Yorker online:
Having wandered back into writing about U.S. politics
for the past eighteen months or so, I sometime wonder how the full-time
Washington correspondents, the lifers, do it: cover the same old junk year
after year. The key to career longevity and job satisfaction, I suppose, is to
buy into the notion, assiduously promoted by the politicians and their flaks, that what they are doing is
serious.
Note: this is the first time I've seen 'flak' used this way. Flak is slang for criticism.
