Escapes

Dear Ross Douthat, 

A "narrow" escape is when you flee to your dorm room on a Friday night just in time don your Ronald Reagan feety pajamas and brew up some Earl Grey to sip while you read The Collected Works of David Brooks and catch a re-run of the Margaret Thatcher episode of "Firing Line" rather than wilt under the expectations of a purring, birth-control-pill-popping Chunky Reese Witherspoon.

John Edwards didn't win a single 2008 presidential primary.
