Read the whole post, it's very good. But the end is so succinct it bears repeating:

A junior high school geometry student would be embarrassed to produce work like this. But not the Wall Street Journal editorial page. Or the American Enterprise Institute, which created it in the first place. They apparently think their readers are too dumb to see what they're doing. Why their readership puts up with this obvious contempt for their intelligence is a question for another day.

I've been saying the Journal's degenerated from a leading news outlet to shameful right wing shill for years. Kevin Drum wrapped up my thinking exactly.
