Ezra Klein: Boy Genius

Ezra Klein sporting the effects of the Photoshop beard filter.
Witness below, the genius of Ezra Klein, in full streaming video, as he declares the Constitution of the United States to have "no binding power." He continues, revealing his confusion with anything written over 100 years ago, maintaining that the words from then mean different things now. I wonder what he thinks "Congress shall make no law" means now vs. then?  I am pretty sure I have read his take on "shall not be infringed" before, but I am not sure where.

Klein was the famous creator of the "JournoList" where he exposed his full-tilt DNC whoring skills, along with the great David Weigel.  At least Weigel got shit-canned from Reason for his schilling for positions too far outside of their Cosmotarian sensitivities.  Klein is safe, for now, at the Post while Weigel is safe at Socialist Worker, or wherever he is.

David Weigel back at the Post again

JournoLister David Weigel back on the pages of the Washington Post

At least he got this one right. Not sure if it is going to help him get a job with Pat Buchanan.

Five myths about the 'tea party':


The tea party is racist.

2. It's a phenomenon that some activists call 'nutpicking' -- send a cameraman into a protest and he'll focus on the craziest sign. Yes, there are racists in the tea party, and they make themselves known. But tea party activists, in most cases, root them out. Texas activist Dale Robertson, who held a sign comparing taxpayers to 'niggars' at a 2009 rally, was drummed out of that event and pilloried by his peers. Mark Williams, formerly the bomb-throwing spokesman for the Tea Party Express (he once told me he wanted to send the liberal watchdog group Media Matters 'a case of champagne' for calling him racist), was booted after penning a parody essay that had the NAACP pining for slavery.

Liberal critics of the tea party make the case that conservative opposition to social spending is often racially motivated. That's not new, though, and it's certainly not the basis for the tea party.

I missed this the first time through:

The tea party will transform American politics.
5. Here, Sen. Graham has history on his side. A popular, and correct, aphorism about grass-roots movements is that they act like wasps -- they sting, then die
Emphasis mine.
Yes, the standard of excellence that is both Weigel and the Post. For those who don't know, wasps keep stinging, bees sting and die. H/t to the others in the Johnny Longtorso thread for noticing. They also noticed the Post changed "wasps" to "bees", ROFL!
