The Impaired Intellectuals of the Right
Two psuedo-intellectuals of the right that I like to puncture are David S. Broder, who darkens NPR and NYT with his presence, and local boy Victor Davis Hanson ... um ... DOCTOR Victor Davis Hanson.
Sadly, No! takes on Mr. Broder's finely elocuted nonsense..
And Victor Davis Hanson battles wits with a fictional character, sometime last year. I don't know how I missed this. I think this calls for a three way smackdown, Spartan-style: El General, Patriot Boy! vs. the Fresno street fighter, War Nerd! vs.
El Doctor!
VIC-torrrrr Daaaavis HANSOOOOON! .
[My own take on Hanson: He regularly issues columns in which he dicusses 21st century events in the Middle East without reference to anything that occurred before 2 August 1990. And I'm supposed to believe he's a brilliant military historian? Right-ee-o there.]
