There are days, so help me, when it becomes impossible for me to tell the difference between the daily satires I write to kick off The Andrew Klavan Show and the world as it actually is. Just when I think I’ve painted the left in the most extreme terms in order to highlight the absurdity of their ideas and actions, the left actually pushes their ideas and actions to those same extremes and becomes more absurd than I could possibly have imagined.
For instance, I frequently mock the New York Times as “a former newspaper.” I thought this was satirical overstatement meant to underscore the fact that the Times has descended over the last two decades from a great, if liberal-leaning, paper, to a second-rate and sophomoric collection of left-wing hit pieces.
