Beinart reviews Paul Krugman. One throwaway line is:
Icon destroyers are most powerful when they hail from within the priestly elite.Beinart, with his Council on Foreign Relations pedigree, wants only the elite to change America - after the irresponsible elite, including Beinart himself, have thoroughly screwed it up.
Calling Krugman a member of the "priestly elite" is a smear. He has been more the lonely dissenter in a sea of elite media groupthink. Beinart hails from the priestly elite. For all I care, he can go defrock himself.
And of course, Beinart can't help propounding his own thoroughly discredited point of view on foreign policy.
