The Weekly Standard’s Jay Cost wasn’t about to let Willis get away with that:

@owillis Jay, I respect and value your insight, but I do think there's a need for some Sykes-like self-evaluation, here.

.@JayCostTWS It's *almost* as if @owillis is both 1) stereotyping and 2) aiming his fire at someone who utterly fails to fit the stereotype.
