Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Robertson and the Jews

By Matthew Yglesias

Nov 8 2007, 8:19 AM ET Comment

Since Rudy Giuliani is the unofficial candidate of America's Jewish hawks and Israel hardliners, I'm searching for signs of recognition from those quarters that his new best friend Pat Robertson seems to be a wild-eyed crackpot who believes that a conspiracy of Jewish Illuminati are behind most of the world's problems.

So far I'm seeing nothing. J-Pod at Commentary and Bill Kristol in The Weekly Standard both downplay the significance of the endorsement in electoral terms, which I think is their way of signalling disdain for Robertson, but hardly gets at the crux of the matter.
