Sorry Cinderella but the shoe fites.
Beck is a newbie. Like most of them, he’s in a candy store for the first time. Wolfing down this and that because its all new to him. Worse with him because he’s not a kid. He’ll get grounded eventually. He’ll read more deeply. But to call those of us who know more than he does, “simpletons” is...well...just what I would expect actually.
I am getting the impression that Joe Klein is posting here under multiple aliases... :-)
