Ezra is like a parrot. He can say the words, but apparently he doesn't understand what they mean.

In 1984, George Orwell referred to this as "duckspeak".

Ezra Klein is one of the key “journo-list” guys. Everything he says should be considered based on his membership in that very left wing group.

I missed that. Orwell's writings are so packed with predictions--it's no wonder that we can't take it all in.

George Orwell is emerging as a more powerful predictor of things to come than Jules Verne.
