WELL, DANA MILBANK: “He tells us the place is 95% brush but not how big it is. Why did he buy land that had problems he didn’t understand at all and that make the place entirely unsuitable for its intended purpose (finding peace)? And more importantly, why does a person with this level of practical sense and good judgment have a column in The Washington Post expounding on politics? Can we take his inane real estate venture as a metaphor?”

Yes, we can.
