How would you describe people who applaud the Times for choosing a new Op-Ed columnist who has written things like this? (via)
At least for now, before the casualties mount and the failures begin and the inevitable partisanship rears its head, we seem to be showing the necessary steel for the task ahead. And at the risk of sounding predictable, let me say how glad I am, and how fortunate we are, to have such a collection of hard men and women (Condaleeza [sic] forever!) at the helm of state today.

DeLong Smackdown Watch: 3.5 Billion of Asian Descent Don't Like Ross Douthat Either
J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with All Eight Tentacles —
... Ross Douthat: the College Years: If I really wanted to offend Harvard Asians, I might sit down and write an article in which I was, well, a tad critical of the Asian community. For instance, I might suggest that there was, let’s say, a slight trend toward ethnic self-segregation, or a slight proclivity for the sciences over the humanities among Asian-Americans.
