  1. Wonderful! Written with all the skill and nuance a current university progressive arts degree can provide.

  2. It’s not real, it’s the brilliant Iowahawk!
    But if a journOlist, like Klein. should enter such a contest, this would be the kind of drivel one would expect.
    Check out Iowahawk’s web site. You’re in for a lot of fun—unless you’re a brainwashed, loser leftie!

  3. That is almost completely unbelievable. !!
    I would bet a million bucks that Klein has never read the Constitution. Deans list, ha. Our hallowed halls of learning, no wonder.

  4. It has to be a joke. Even a stupid person at the university level should be able to write better than that.
    Most astonishing … if it is real, the level of ignorance of what the constitution is.
    I don’t believe that was a genuine essay. It is like an 8th grade bullshitter wrote it in the hopes a getting a pass for effort.

  5. PSST . . . Iowahawk is a satirist: this IS a joke. (See my post @ 9:31.)
    Klein and MSNBC are complete dolts, and Iowahawk, as usual, brilliantly skewers them.

  6. That the entrant was made a political science major on the Dean’s list is priceless, um, juxtaposition.

  7. Do not, under any circumstances, ever attempt to argue with a satirist with a large following. There’s no defense in the world against humour.

  8. Oh, if only the Canadian constitution had a first part, a middle part, and a last part. All we have is a first part and a last part.

  9. We all make verbal slips, and certainly anyone who’s being filmed and recorded all the time will. Bush, Palin, Obama, yadda yadda… but what Klein said is more than fumbling “North Korea/South Korea” or even “57 States” Klein’s slip is telling.
    Leftists despise the Constitution. Not too long ago an American (History – Russian History) prof I know – no great radical, although certainly leftish – was explaining to me that the constitution is like Sharia law in the sense that it is outdated; it’s ridiculous to live by a bunch of rules laid out by some dead guys centuries ago. A supreme Cout Justice admitted a few weeks ago that he thinks the Constitution is, well… not something that needs to be enforced:

    Klein is a nobody, but this slip tells you how that kind of nobody thinks. “Dude, the Constitution is so old! Like, a hundred years or whatever. Seriously. You know what I mean. Jefferson owned slaves, and women couldn’t even vote back then, and gays didn’t even have rights, okay, so can we just move on?”
    And you know Obama thinks the same.

  10. I can sympathize with Ezra Klein,those old books and documents with their ancient English are hard to figure out.
    I have had a great deal of trouble trying to decipher another old book, “The Bible”, written long ago by a fella named James King,at least that’s what my copy says on the cover,”The James King Bible”.
    New books often have a brief biography of the writer,sometimes even a photo, but not this James’ book, so I have no idea who he is or what inspired him to write that book.
    It’s pretty good,wanders off on tangents somewhat, but overall a darned good read.
    Iowahawk’s Ezra Klein essay is a classic! lol.
