Dumb: Steven Hayward at Power Line.
I really can't get over the spectacle of the self-destruction of The New Republic, which I think is significant far beyond the details of young'un Chris Hughes thinking it is a nifty idea to wreck this venerable magazine.... it is symptomatic of a wider problem on the Left, presaging the collapse of the Hillary candidacy (you might have missed the air audibly leaking from her balloon this week) and perhaps of Progressivism itself.
Dumber:
Is TNR meltdown "symptomatic of a wider problem on the Left, presaging collapse of the Hillary candidacy?" Hope so! http://t.co/KAl86CF6n1
— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 6, 2014I imagine that Hayward actually spent a few minutes trying to concoct an explanation of why the TNR upheaval is connected to Hillary and progressivism. Then, when he realized that nothing he could possible write would be in any way coherent, he said "Screw it" and put up the short post with no evidence for his assertion.
Well, at least he didn't try to link the New Republic situation to Benghazi.
