I think what Ezra Klein and Kevin Drum are missing about Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman's remarks arguing that "swine flu" is offensive to people who keep Kosher and that it should be called "Mexican flu" instead is that Litzman obviously has enormous potential as a right-wing blogger. Just to make sure though, he should threaten to drag some public health official out of their office and beat them to death.
