Gagnon’s timing

To the Editor;

Matt Gagnon probably wishes his latest column wasn’t in Jan. 7’s BDN. I heard a European friend joke that what happened in Washington wouldn’t have happened if there had been an American Embassy there. Based on the following Gagnon epic passage, worth republishing to rub it in, I nominate him for two (new) annual BDN awards: Worst Timing and Most Ironic.

“It is, rather, a source of pride in me that the right does not throw the same kind of temper tantrums that the left does. Throwing hissy fits, saying your opponent isn’t your president, and cloaking yourself in revolutionary (borderline seditious) behavior is not ever something I want to see us do just because the other guy’s in charge.” Yeah, right.
