Portnoy's Complaint

Political sage Mickey "Portnoy" Kaus, reaching with his free hand to the Harvard Classics Shelf of Friction, chokes out a tortured comparison between General Wesley Clark and Uriah Heep. No, not this Uriah Heep. The one described by David Copperfield as having "damp fishy fingers" and "looking as like a malevolent baboon, I thought, as anything human could look." Give it up, Kaus. Toss in the towel. Your excessive self-love has blinded you to the truth, and caused you to project your own worst traits onto others.
