Saw it pimped a few places, but David Rees’ magnificent smackdown of Michael Ignatieff’s ludicrously pompous and self-important op-ed in the New York Times Magazine simply cannot be pimped enough.
Money shot:
I was excited when I first saw this new essay: At last, Ignatieff was going to come clean about his super-duper-double-dipper errors. I expected a no-holds barred, personal excoriation. In fact, I assumed the first, last, and only sentence of the essay would be: “Please, for the love of God, don’t ever listen to me again.”
