Guess who Dorothy Rabinowitz is talking about?

This item was filled under [ Obama, WSJ ]

Dorothy Rabinowitz has got a new op-ed out in today’s WSJ. Praytell, let’s see if we can figure out who she’s talking about:

On the face of it, there is nothing overwhelmingly stirring about Sen. Obama. There is a cerebral quality to him, and an air of detachment. He has eloquence, but within bounds. After nearly two years on the trail, the audience can pretty much anticipate and recite his lines. [...]

Is James Taranto a troll or is he just stupid?

This item was filled under [ Missing the point of the exercise ]

For years, the Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web column has been required reading for me…but over the last couple of months, I’ve noticed that James Taranto, the column’s editor has taken on a more strident, pro-Bushian-worldview way of thinking. Granted, it appears we’ll be voting for different candidates in the election, but I’ve [...]
