or worse. Ryan Singel calls him "dangerous", we'd use slightly more pointed, salty language (like putz, or MoFo. You know, words that might be bleeped out on the network news, or words avoided by Ward Cleaver). So might Paul Krugman, or Dr. Alterman for that matter
For most people the third time is the charm, but in the case of Time columnist Joe Klein writing about proposed changes to the nation's spying laws, even his third draft gets it wrong.

Note, thanks to skippy, we will never confuse Joe Klein with Howie Klein again. Not that we should have confused Idiot Klein with non-Idiot Klein in the first place, but still, we once did....
Bonus round, Glenn Greenwald skewers Idiot Klein as well:
Seriously, in what country does Joe Klein live? Can someone please explain to him that in the United States, the President doesn't have the power to give "direct orders" to violate the law? And what kind of person who isn't in the military runs around talking about "direct orders" from the American President at all? That isn't how our country works. Presidents obviously don't have the power to give "direct orders" to anyone to break the law, let alone civilians and private companies. Why does that even need to be explained?
