Let's take a refresher course. In the infamous "myopic twit" article, Milloy introduces the term by saying, But he couldn't find time to meet with 98-year-old Dorothy Height and 82-year-old Maya Angelou. Respect for elders -- that's too old school for Fenty. Dis the sistas -- his supporters will understand.

And, Watch them at the chic new eateries, Fenty's hip newly arrived "creative class" firing up their "social media" networks whenever he's under attack: Why should the mayor have to stop his work just to meet with some old biddies, they tweet. Who cares if the mayor is arrogant as long as he gets the job done? Myopic little twits.

And lordy don't complain about Rhee.

Contrary to urban legend, Milloy actually says nothing about dog parks, bike lanes or streetcars. His discussion about education "reform" was limited two sentences:

Don't ask Fenty or Rhee whom this world-class school system will serve if low-income black residents are being evicted from his world-class city in droves. Don't ask Fenty or Rhee whom this world-class school system will serve if low-income black residents are being evicted from his world-class city in droves.

So there you have it. Those are Milloy's comments against streetcars, bike lanes, dog parks, and education reform.

Now to your points...(cont)
