New York Times Columnist Line of the Day

If you’re one of the three people who remembers this here blog from its hay-day, you have once in a blue moon checked out the New York Times op-ed page. You probably recognize the names of the columnists, who every day spout the most conventionally wise of the conventional wisdom. This is a feature that is dedicated to these folks, highlighting one line that is either funny, ridiculous, strange, or actually intelligent or well-written.

Today\’s is from Ross \”Do That Thing\” Douthat, who in his column yesterday \”The G.O.P.\’s Immigration Delusion,\” wrote:

Admittedly, a big push for immigration reform would not be as straightforwardly idiotic as shutting down the government without clear goals or plausible demands.

Now, that\’s some Joe Buck-quality political analysis right there.
