After I got asked that question about what three liberals I’d like to be stuck in a room , I started polling. The sanest choice was: “DP Moynihan, Chris Hitchens, and Camille Paglia.” An alternative to Bill Clinton–they’d all criticize him. Though does Paglia qualify (or Hitchens, come to think…)? She might be a label unto herself.

The bravest choice: Dean. Who knows what could happen. Someone would run out screaming.
