Remember that brilliant American Digest column I mentioned day before yesterday? The one about the new neutered style of most liberals? It was about the sound of Joel Stein’s voice in an interview he did with Hugh Hewitt. But today E.J. Dionne shows us how that sound can be replicated on paper in his column, “Two Elections and a Lesson” in the WaPo.
What a luxury to be able to sit inside the Beltway and grouse, complain and kibbitz to one’s neutered heart’s content, with full 20/20 hindsight. A revealing question: Can you imagine Dionne as an embed?
