If you’ve never read James Wolcott’s Tracer Fire blog, you are missing out on one of the great pleasures of the Internets.
Wolcott, a Vanity Fair writer and author, is a magnificent wordsmith. Even if you don’t always agree with his politics, it’s impossible not to marvel at the way he writes. A very brief excerpt from this week:
[He has a] thumbless grasp of the issues and a propensity for lachrymose whimpering when he doesn’t get his way.
Follow the above link to discover the target of Wolcott’s fantastic putdown.

Thumbless grasp of issues, lachrymose blubbering…sounds like Bruce Dumont.

I got hip to Wolcott a few months ago, and your’e right - he’s an amazing writer. It’s even more enjoyable when you agree with almost all his views.
I highly recommend his “When Harry Met Mikey” post as an example.
I’m also looking forward to reading his book “Attack Poodles” dealing with the dysfunctional national media.
