Yglesias calling people liars...hmmm... This is guy who has written on taxing more people, increasing taxes, and items to be taxed. And here he is asking for help in cheating on his taxes. Liar? How about massively inconsistent.

Fair enough. Perhaps I can find that piece somewhere online. (Can't get it at FA) However, that's a long time ago...

Highly respected by whom?

The same sorts of people who respect, say, David Broder or Daniel Stern.

And could you please point me to a "brilliant"(!?!?!) Krauthammer piece?

Krauthammer has written some incredibly important pieces, going back at least to his 1990 "Unipolar Moment" essay in Foreign Policy.

Ignatius is a highly respected moderate-left commentator who, in this instance, has written something that many on the Left (and a few of us on the Right) disagree with.

Highly respected by whom? And could you please point me to a "brilliant"(!?!?!) Krauthammer piece? I take your point, more or less, but isn't that a bit much? Most major op-eds are rubbish.

Congratulations to Mr. Klein.

On another matter, why are so many self-proclaimed progressives like Young Mr. Yglesias such buttheads? Of course, everyone really agrees with him, so if you write something to the contrary you must be a liar?
