SAD, SORRY BLOGGING
Take It Away, Jonah!

This has to be the saddest, the sorriest, sentence ever scribbled by a right-wing blogger:

Juan Cole claims to be a major scholar.

Those words came from the mouth stubby fingers of none other than Keyboard Warrior Totally Ordinaire Jonah Goldberg.

Yes, Goldberg was discussing that Juan Cole, tenured and full professor at the University of Michigan and incoming president of the Middle East Studies Association, among his many other accomplishments.

That Goldberg hasn't a clue about the level of scholarship, intelligence, and achievement required to attain such rank reveals far more about the right-wing foundation-and-grant gravy train upon which Goldberg and Mrs. Goldberg and Mrs. Goldberg have fed so eagerly and so often, than the enlistment-dodger would care to admit.
