Brevity is the soul…

These hilarious “weekend update” op-ed summaries from Matthew Yglesias are making Tapped a must-read:

  WEEKEND UPDATE. Sunny Sunday keep you away from the news? Here’s what you missed:

The Columnists

  • Nicholas Kristof. Forget that stuff I said last week about Democrats being too vitriolic — Bush sucks.
  • David Brooks. Only unilateral surrender can save the Democratic Party.
  • Thomas Friedman. If everyone was moderate, then we could all get along.
  • Maureen Dowd. Even a column about organ donation wouldn’t be complete without a few pop culture references.
  • George Will. Democrats who are for multilateralism in Iraq and against it in the WTO are hypocritical, whereas conservative columnists who are against it in Iraq and for it in the WTO are not.
  • David Broder. The states sure are looking bankrupt.
  • Jim Hoagland. This argument would be a lot more plausible if Arab-on-Arab violence was really a new phenomenon.
