Lefty Satire Takedown
In a review of DBC Pierre's Booker Prize winning novel Vernon God Little, Michael Lind says much of what I've tried to say in my "Lefty Satire Watch" series that I might just retire:
Effective satire should anger or humiliate its object, on the basis of the points of resemblance between the portrait and its inspiration.
I suspect that much of the lefty satire I've been watching lately settles for the first half of that definition. 't'is a pity.
