Anti-Frank Rich Quote of the Week

Isaac Chotiner of TNR on the NYT's second-worst op-ed columnist, who tried to tie the Balloon Boy thing to the financial bubble:

The problem here, again, is that Rich is comparing two things that should not be compared. I can glibly say that "Just as numerous Americans were fooled by the few hyped instances of shark attacks into staying out of the water in the summer of 2001, so were many Americans fooled by Bill Clinton's initial comments on Monica Lewinsky." The problem is that such a comparison is completely inane and worthless. Rich should stop looking for patterns where none exist. If only his columns were not required to demarcate the supposed intersection between American cultural life and America political life...
Still, an improvement over the "here's this week's number one movie, and here's how it proves Bush sucks," a variation on which Rich wrote every week between 2001 and 2008.
