Let’s go on a little bullshit hunt, shall we?
Conservative columnist Jon Podhoretz was the guest on The Daily Show tonight. Podhoretz is something of a bete noire of mine; for now suffice it to say I consider him to be a meanspirited twit (for more, see my forthcoming West Wing book review in Ink19).
On the show, attempting to argue against what he called the liberal caricature of Bush as an idiot, he mentioned two recent columns in Time, by Joe Klein, and on MSNBC (and in Newsweek) by Jonathan Alter. Here’s the thing. That’s a drastic oversimplification of what each column says. See for yourself.
