We’d have posted this earlier when our tipster first told us about this, but we tried to get 23-year-old Ezra Klein to comment on the issue. He wouldn’t, but apparently he’s telling others that it’s a joke. The question remains: Is it a good enough joke for NBC to keep paying him to appear on Tim Russert’s network as a political pundit?

Also! What are he and Matthew Yglesias plotting, kids?
