4. Literary people who saw Dale Peck's byline would likely know what to expect (a baroque, excessive screed). But I suspect few political readers would have that contextual background & so, coming fresh to the piece, reacted with WTF.

5. This is not to say the piece was good (it wasn't). But it does read differently if you know who Peck is and that some of the kookiness of the piece is not untypical of Peck's frequently failed attempts at stylized writing.

A key thing about Wieseltier is that, for all his flaws, he was actually an editor. It...is not clear that there was any editing at all of this piece?

Wieseltier May go down as history’s greatest monster. Who was that Lee something-or-other guy he published too?

Lee Smith?

This is good to know. It changes my opinion of Peck not one bit. But definitely lowers Wieseltier in my estimate. And he wasn’t anywhere good to begin with.
