Columnist honesty

Steve Lopez's lead on tomorrow's column:

What do "tea party" beauty queen Sarah Palin and U2 guitarist the Edge have in common?

Nothing, aside from the fact that I have something to say about each of them today and can't bear to let either one off the hook. So think of this as two columns for the price of one.

The headline is Nonsense in two different guises. Lopez's problem with Palin is her misapprehension of Ronald Reagan, and with the Edge over the "enviornmental sensitivity" of his construction project in Malibu.
