https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Hertzberg

After Fallows departed in 1979, Hertzberg became Carter’s chief speechwriter. Hertzberg was an author of President Jimmy Carter’s July 15, 1979, speech on energy conservation, widely known as the “Malaise Speech”[13] and critiqued as one of the most ineffective pieces of political rhetoric in American history.[14][15]

A Vietnam draft dodger who gets very macho about the military he never served in overthrowing the President. Sad and wholly unlikely..

Hertzberg. Thought he was dead, physically and politically. Just goes to show you that even Dead Democrats can arise like Zombies to pollute and hurt the world for a long time.

I seriously doubt that anyone who is sane reads the New Yorkers anymore. Once did for great cartoons and an occasionally decent feature article. Gave that up for Lent many decades ago because it became a sin against America (and I’m Jewish). /sarc
