Iteresting column for sure, but the writer should know that she has already worked very hard on this special speech, so whatever she says won’t have anything to do with his column or input from any journ0lists or journalists.
I thought the monolithic vitrol of the comments to the article was reinforcment to my perception of the readership as isolated knee-jerk leftist.
Comments were petty, not responsive to the article or commentary, and certainly wouldn’t make a good series of comments on any sort of internet forum outside the NYT.
