Hyper-stupid ass-covering bull***t
So Matthew Yglesias calls the domestic policy agenda of some organization called Third Way -- which I had never heard of until tonight -- "hyper-timid incrementalist bullshit."
That was on Friday.
Today, at 10:33PM, his acting boss felt compelled to author a post -- on his blog -- stating the obvious: that his views are his alone. Moreover, she defends Third Way.
You should take a gander at the comments on her post. I counted at most 3 comments that supported her -- and over 200 saying she should not have interefered.
Yglesias will end up fine -- he's smart, and thinks for himself, no matter who might try to intimidate him.
But the thing that really strikes me here is that (a) clearly his boss made the most at the behest of Third Way; and (b) because Third Way demanded an apology, far more people are going to know what Yglesias said they were lame.
And now Third Way has supplied the evidence to prove their lameness. They couldn't possibly be more stupid.
