From Ezra Klein, after learning that conservatives are attacking President Obama for eating dog meat when he was a seven-year-old growing up in Indonesia:
After I learned the story, I felt a little worse about myself for being in any way involved in the tornado of idiocy that is American politics.
Ezra points to a recent handful of especially idiotic silly-season incidents, and I just want to point out that, unlike Ezra, I heard about all of these things in real time. That’s what being a pro is all about, boys and girls. No need to thank me.
