Why Does No One Ever Quote Bob Herbert?

Lord knows, I rarely, if ever, quote him, and his mist recent column in the New York Times deserves notice.

His basic point is that there is no recovery for most of the country, even as "Wall Street can boast about recovery all it wants, much of America remains trapped in economic hell."

Herbert writes about this stuff a lot, and he's treated like a red-haired stepchild, he rarely gets quoted in the blogosphere, either pro or con.

I'm not sure why this is.
