The Poor Man: Tragedy and Farce

Like a scab I can’t stop picking, it’s back to National Review, and Jonah Goldberg, the Pillsbury Pantload. First, Jonah draws on the extensive military expertise he gained by playing Warcraft to explain to USA Today readers that no comparison can be made between Vietnam and Iraq - because Iraq has, like, way more sand - except that bad news in both was entirely the fault of liberals and journalists not waving their pom-poms enthusiastically enough. Greg Mitchell of Editor & Publisher notes, correctly, that Goldberg is an idiot. Goldberg then resorts to his usual tactic: compulsively posting endless anonymous emails from NRO readers and pretending that means something.
