You'ld have been screaming bloody murder about "this administrations failures" had it been, say, an author lecturing about border security being let through without the proper paperwork and arriving saying "they didn't enforce the laws".
Instead, its some fu-fu intellectual type who got his feathers ruffled...RIGHTLY. (Actually, haven't read McEwen so I don't know...but it sounded good ;-))
I'll save the red patch just for you :-)
