Kristof’s peanut gallery
Nick Kristof is one of the two NYT columnists who are still worth a read. (The other one should be obvious. ) China Wakes and Thunder from the East aren’t bad, either. But the most entertaining Kristof content comes from his blog at the Times, where he posts selections from readers’ letters. If you want truly to see truly bad political prognostication, look no further than here:
I’m rushing around, getting ready for a trip to Africa, but here’s a sampling of email about my Hillary column. Ted from Minneapolis writes:Energy conservation, energy self-sufficiency and global environmental crisis management will be the overriding issues of the next 20 years, not abortion. Hillary Clinton is not well-positioned to get elected or to deal with the real problems. If she were, I’d back her.
Emphasis mine. A real Karl Rove, this one.
