Lileks Fisks LeCarre

Some days, Lileks is preoccupied with his toddler daughter or some piece of pop culture. I enjoy those columns. But he’s always at his can’t-miss best when some fool decides to spew the whole tired litany of anti-American agitprop, in this case an op-ed piece in the London Times, by the spy novel writer who uses the pseudonym “John LeCarre,” which is helpfully titled — for the subtlety-impaired – “The United States of America has gone mad.” As usual, Lileks v. LeCarre is such a lopsided battle it isn’t even fair, but it is funny.
