Wrong on Chait

I just reread Jonathan Chait and realized my earlier post today was wrong and petty. Chait is taking a risk by going to J Street. His own editor, Peretz, calls J Street "a circle jerk," and Marty Peretz’s hitman, James Kirchick, does Peretz’s work for him by putting "a fork in J Street" today. They want to kill J Street, but Chait is actually very positive about J Street. He’s troubled by the left movement that J Street is feeding off of, but I welcome him into the conversation and urge him to examine more of his editor’s positions in a critical light.
