Today he opined on the demise of The New Republic (a magazine a journalism professor I had in college once referred to as "conservative"...she's Canadian) he dropped this little bomb that he probably thought was a gem on his readers (bold emphasis is mine).
But what made the New Republic and its peer policy magazines so great was how restlessly, relentlessly idiosyncratic they were — that's how they drove new ideologies and new ideas to the fore. They were worse at covering policy than their digital successors, but probably better at thinking. Part of this was because they simply cared less what the audience thought — they saw their role as telling their audience what to think,

Klein is like a bad jock rash. He never totally goes away, is a real pain, is smelly, and thinks he’s funny.
If there is a place in Hell for leftist little arrogant pricks like him, it must be really crowded but they can always make room for one more schmuck, and the sooner, the better.
