Better to laugh than to scream, I guess, so here is a Radar Online take down of Joe Klein (via Glenn Greenwald) that will bring a smile to your face. Two things to highlight:
1.) The article points out that this was one of the first comments ever on a Joe Klein Swampland post:
Just because I hate to see the lefties get all the credit, let the record show that at least one moderate Republican finds you despicable.
Heh.
2.) The article also makes fun of Joe’s “policy” positions:
But the penultimate paragraph offers a window into a mind that has been blinded by self-regard: “As I’ve thought about these issues, a pattern has emerged: They are synergistic, mutually reinforcing. They fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. … When you put the jigsaw puzzle together, the nation that emerges is more equitable, more efficient, with a reinvigorated citizenry—a safer and more powerful nation, braced by the power of moral example as well as military supremacy.” Huzzah! Can you make the nation more equitable, efficient, safe, powerful, and invigorated in 4,300 words or less, Glenn Greenwald? I didn’t think so! When Klein writes about the courage necessary to lead the country out of its current quagmire, he’s thinking of someone in the arena, amid the blood, sweat, and dust. And it’s not one of the candidates.
The piece notes that Klein’s foray in blogging has been little more than a “yearlong self-immolation.” Good stuff.
