Who is Ed Chen? And Could He Be Reading 'Better Living'?

Earlier this evening, I was reading the transcript of last evening's edition of Jim Lehrer's weekly conversation with David Brooks and Mark Shields on PBS. I was interested to see this:

JIM LEHRER: Do you agree [with] Ed Chen of the L.A. Times that the president has intentionally kept this vague, that he's trying to avoid what happened to the Clinton health care plan?

I don't know who Ed Chen is and I don't read the L.A. Times. But I do wonder if he's read this blog because the point that Lehrer attributes to Chen is one that I made here.

Coincidence? Almost certainly, of course. I'm not enough of a blogotist to think otherwise. But it is interesting.
