What Matthew Cooper Owes Mr. Bean

This is one of the flat-out dumbest things I’ve ever read by a professional poliblogger who isn’t Andrew Malcolm. The only good thing about the post is that Cooper didn’t finish writing it.  This is how it ends:

Look for more of the same sort of think-piece should Michael Flatley happen to breathe his last.
