The exceedlingly pompous Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein got a much-needed scolding from conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt Sunday.

After Klein complained that he couldn't "remember a time when House/Senate/WH sources were as pessimistic... as in these last 3 weeks,” Hewitt smartly shot back, "Ezra, you are 28!"

Ezra, you are 28! MT: "@ezraklein: I can't remember a time when House/Senate/WH sources were as pessimistic... as in these last 3 weeks.”

In fairness to Klein, he's actually 29.

That said, it's pretty darned absurd for a 29-year-old to be saying in public "I can't remember a time."

Give it a decade or two more, kid.
