From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Another voice on T, G & H.
Matt Welch tips us off to the blog of Harvard Independent editor, Matthew Yglesias, who also noticed the Keller column:
PARTISANSHIP IS BACK -- BIG TIME as the usually dull Bill Keller slams retiring Senate Republicans Thurmond, Gramm, and Helms. I don't have any sympathy for these guys either and I'm glad to see them taken down a notch, but there doesn't seem to be any peg for the story whatsoever. Keller also trots out the "Taliban wing" of the Republican party line that had been gaining popularity in liberal circles before the 11th. The opportunist in me is glad to see it back.......I strongly considered sending this in to Andrew Sullivan as a Begala Award Nominee, but at the end of the day, I just agree with Keller too much to do it.
Yeah. That's about right, except he forgot to become overwrought about that one sentence that makes an erroneous assumption about regulatory oversight...
Mr. Yglesias is now ad-free by the way. I hope I was first this time. I think it's pretty large for a Yalie to step up for someone from...that place.
Incidentally, I posted on Keller before.
