Jonah,
Right on re. Napolitano. She’s given herself a job description under which there’s no such thing as failure. Must be nice.
The Couch: “Sounds a bit like being ‘editor-at-large.’”
Update: From a reader:
Jonah: By the way, under the heading of stereotypes that need rethinking, who would have predicted that the hero of the incident would be:
–not a TSA guy at the gate catching the device;
–not an air marshal (it looks as if there was none);
–not a US military guy on leave;
–but a Dutch video producer jumping across four seated passengers to grab the terrorist, grab his burning explosive device with bare hands, and frog march him up to the front of the plane.
