“Respectable Liberal Blogger Ezra Klein and his Pavlovian (Yet Respectable) boosters are treating my 2004 post [redacted by Klein to misrepresent the whole story…] as proof-positive of my utterly flabbergasting HYPOCRISY!

“Other left-wing blogs have zeroed in on the Frosts’ reported inability to obtain affordable insurance after their car accident.

Wouldn’t “getting health insurance” be a normal To-Do when you find out you’re pregnant, never mind long beforehand? Why do I think the Frosts were more concerned about stocking up at Baby Gap?
