He notes, though, that Wal-Mart isn’t doing this for [...]

[Posted by Karl] Blogger spats are often a bit “inside baseball,” but occasionally, such spats may shed light on a bigger issue. Verum Serum reports on such a spat between HotAir’s Ed Morrissey and the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, ostensibly over whether Klein believes the “public plan” Pres. Obama would like to see as part of healthcare [...]...

... you this for years. Year after year after year. This brings us around to the recent hiring of Ezra Klein, a smart young liberal who just may know how to keep his big trap shut. (Froomkin doesn't do that.)A few years ago, Ezra broke all the rules! Behaving much like Froomkin himself, he actually wrote something highly important--and perfectly accurate--about the mainstream press...

Ezra Klein recently moved from the American Prospect to the [depending on your perspective] loftier perch of the Washington Post. I'm guessing this has also gotten him better access to the halls of power; he seems to be snagging higher-profile interviews more often (e.g. Atul Gawande , Ron Wyden , Tom Daschle , Bernie Sanders ). But his heightened proximity to the legislative sausage...

I feel like a little kid standing and watching some bigger kids having fun. “Hey guys! Can I play too?” I am talking, of course, about Shadowfax and Ezra Klein. The big boys are having it out: Ezra: (Responding to whines about losing money on Medicare): You don’t like what Medicare pays? Why not just dump it? You [...]

... anything has gone wrong. When Jonah Goldberg is jumping ship , though, things aren't looking good. Ezra Klein : The main thing I'd point out about Sarah Palin's dazzlingly incoherent farewell is that it's pretty clear she wrote it herself. The proof is in the punctuation. The transcript was posted to her official Web site earlier today. The style is closer to a high schooler's angry...

Why you should be reading Ezra Klein : Washington, DC: So do you think a constitutional amendment that gives more senators to larger states (from a range of 2 to, say, 8) would be feasible? I believe that is how it works in Germany’s upper house, the Bundesrat. It would leave the system pretty much intact [...]

Ezra Klein : Given the composition of the exchanges that HELP is contemplating, CBO estimates that by 2019, they will have 27 million Americans enrolled. That's not all that many. And the public plan will be one of the many options on the exchanges. So imagine that a bit more than half enter the public plan -- which I'd suggest is optimistic. That's 15 million or so people in the plan....

He has something to tell you : The Washington Post died today. It was five months short of its 132nd birthday. And he has much more if you read it. He writes the obituary for the Washington Post. Classic. Sorry Greg Sargent and Ezra Klein, but yes, he is teliing the truth about your bosses.

Lots of health care odds-n-ends in this post. I can't bring you comprehensive coverage on this site since covering even one topic is hard enough for a blogger (for constant coverage, I suggest Ezra Klein .
