the new book "this town" by mark leeb vich writes the city par from being hopelessly divided is hopelessly not serve the country well but has worked splendidly for washington itself, a city of beautifully busy people constantly writing the story of their own lives. joining us today three busy people writing the story of their own lives but very well versed in the ways of the washington press corps. carlos lozada, molly ball and jim warren, washington bureau chief for the "new york daily news" all join us on this discussion. carlos, how fair would you say that last characterization is of the way in which the washington press corps, the political press here in d.c. operates? >> i think he makes the case well enough. part of what he's saying applies more broadly to -- part of it applies to the washington press corps in particular but if he's taking that criticism broadly to the press corps, i think there might be some problems with it. the book came out at a time when the administration is aggressively pursuing leak investigations. when the press is revealing surveillance programs that are to
