Oh, honey. Did you copy that straight out of your tear-stained diary? You know, the one with the unicorn on the cover. After taking to Twitter to discuss Obama’s tie (the most important part of the Iran deal announcement, evidently), Yglesias then uttered that absurdity about Secretary of State Kerry.
