It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.

I heart the snark. Bernstein is getting to the point where even people who agree with his politics are annoyed by him.

When you decide to go lighter on snark and heavier on content, if you so decide, could you announce it on, oh, I don’t know, Ezra Klein’s blog?

kthxbye

DB, Kieran posts about the posters at Volokh Conspiracy. An obsession even more bizarre than any of Bernstein’s.

If we are at it: let Arizona and California have a Mexican Hezbollah. Vancouver to rocket Seattle. And ab1 be conscripted into the Iraqi police.

“I’d respond in kind, but I don’t read Kieran often enough to know what he most frequently writes about.”

And wow, DB misses the point entirely. Woosh.

Even easier, just accuse his book of being garbage while admitting you haven’t read it – he’ll challenge you to read it and send it to you for free.

Sadly, I was right. The thing makes Ann Coulter look like an academic.

Anyone paying $20 for Bernstein’s latest is being very badly ripped off. As he announced a while back, it was remaindered; big square stacks of ‘em are available at $6.12 and up.

I’m disappointed the post didn’t end with a Paddy joke.

I’m concerned about the anti-semitic overtones of this post. I can’t put a finger on it, but my gut tells me it’s there, it’s gotta be.

Oooh, I’m liking this new and improved CT. Now with 33% more cattiness!

I agree with Adam. There’s a terrific discussion of some of these issues in Professor Bernstein’s excellent book, “You Can’t Say That!” currently available on Amazon.com for the low price of $20.

That’s just snarky and mean. You, and the great mass of other harping, argumentless critics of Bernstein, come off as incredibly petty.

On a somewhat related note, it would be interesting if Kurdish separatists in Iraq started bombing Turkey from the Iraqi side, since under the new principles enunciated by the US for such a scenario, Turkey would have the right to bomb Baghdad.
