This New York Magazine article by Stephen Rodrick is lacking any real story arc and ends rather abruptly but is otherwise a really enjoyable look into the Spartans of Union Square.
As for the McCain editorial, TMR is convinced it was sent to the Times understanding that there was no way the Times would publish an article that was a rebuttal rather than a actual opinion piece. McCain’s camp sent it anyway, knowing it would be rejected, so that they could leak it to Drudge, where it would get just as much, if not more coverage, and they could score points against the “liberal mainstream media” at the same time. This is the type of politicking that makes TMR wonder if Karl Rove isn’t doing more than just writing editorials for the Wall Street Journal.
