Observing the 10th anniversary of MoveOn.org, The Nation‘s Christopher Hayes observes:
This year, MoveOn turns ten. News of the organization’s advanced age tends to elicit the same startled response as word of a childhood star’s divorce.
In other words, trivial interest followed by utter indifference? I have a feeling this isn’t the sentiment Hayes was aiming at. And Hayes’s next attempt at elevated writing falls equally flat. Describing MoveOn’s Executive Director Eli Pariser, he writes:
In person, he’s so preternaturally calm one almost feels he might be some kind of reincarnated lama.
Fawn much?
