It’s a hit or miss thing; sometimes editing is available for about 5 minutes after making a post. Other times, it isn’t.

Bari Weiss has an occasional commonsensical off-script thought, which enrages the rather loosely-wired crew of partisan Democrats on Twitter and which Martin Peretz’s daughter fancies means she ‘defies easy categorization’. Someone remind Evgenia Peretz that once-upon-a-time in American her father ran a publication that was a collecting pool of Democrats whose dissents from smelly little orthodoxies were neither trivial nor contrived. (If Bari Weiss actually did take Christine Blasey Fraud seriously, nothing Bari Weiss says about public life is worth reading).

Democrats do not have the sort of psyche which would permit authentic self-criticism and in addition you likely have a critical mass of Democrats who fancy this pair of gargoyles. I’d be interested to read the intramural memoranda sent to Pelosi by members of the black caucus; I’m wagering they’re running interference for these two.

OTOH, the Republican leadership threw Steve King under the bus for next-to-nothing. (Others treated this way were Roy Moore and Todd Akin; shivving someone the media considers outre is their default setting). The Democrats cannot identify their problems and the superintendents of the Fredocon Donorist Party identify non-problems as problems, ignoring their real problems. It all makes you wanna holler.

She just got there, two years ago, from the Wall Street Journal. Before that she was with Tablet.

The NYT hired her at about the same time they hired Bret Stephens (also from the Journal). The NYT staff went crazy at the influx of these “conservatives,” although they immediately showed themselves to be no such thing.

Weiss calls herself a “left-leaning centrist.” I don’t know what Stephens calls himself these days. They are both good writers, but neither one seems to be standing up very well to their new environment. Sort of like when principled people get elected or appointed and go to Washington, D.C.; they almost always end up adjusting to the situation in ways that disappoint.
