More evidence (as if more were needed) that Conor Friedersdorf is a narcissist

The Other McCain takes out the trash.
There are a number of people these days who are persistently characterized by dinosaur media hacks as ‘conservative’ despite a complete lack of evidence aside from the fact that they occasionally say a good word about what the dinosaur media hacks consider to be the ‘conservative position’ on a topic. David Brooks comes immediately to mind, as does Malcolm Gladwell and Andrew Sullivan, but certainly Friedersdorf fits in this bag. Indeed, it wouldn’t surprise me to find the New York Times someday tag unrepentant Trotskyite Christopher Hitchens as a ‘conservative’ because he correctly appreciates the threat that Islam poses to Western Civ and doesn’t hesitate to talk about it.
