More Halperin reax

Andrew Sullivan: "For the president to react with understated anger strikes me as perfectly natural and overdue. And it comes with the amnesiac, news-cycle crap that Halperin routinely peddles that this basic fact should be ignored for a faux equivalence. It's not the word ['dick'], in other words. It's the empty beltwayism behind it. That's what Halperin should be suspended for. But it was, of course, the reason he was hired."
