Considering the alleged collegial atmosphere of the WaPo newsroom, Lane skewers Ezra Klein pretty thoroughly, and deservedly so. Klein's commentary on Vinson's ruling was so facially absurd and completely lacking in subject-matter understanding, perhaps the editors even recognized that it needed to be addressed, and loosened Lane's chain a bit, as a result.

Comparing something 65% - 75% of the American people DON'T WANT to statism? We don't want EITHER OF THESE, Ezra, you Communist homosexual! Don't you get that?
Here's something you can understand, Ezra, given your predilections: being penetrated with a horseshoe peg is "less instrusive" that being penetrated by a tent pole, but NEITHER IS DESIRABLE by normal people!
