Sorry, NYT, for yesterday's post.
Here's why people should still read you: Today's column by Frank Rich on race and the Henry Louis Gates vs. Cambridge PD story, the birther crazies, Sotomayor's confirmation, etc. It's a great summation and analysis of July's messes.
"Threatened white elites try to mask their own anxieties by patronizingly adopting working-class whites as their pet political surrogates — Joe the Plumber, New Haven firemen, a Cambridge police officer. Call it Village People populism."
