Bravo! Well done take down of John P Normanson. One which JPod richly deserves.

I don't know if JPod's new job will cause him to spend less time on The Corner. I have to admit that I might actually miss him. Not, mind you, because of any direct contribution he makes, but because he is an opponent on immigration, and you can't have a debate without an opponent.

Sure he's a jerk, but it's nice to see him raise his head above the open borders trench every so often only to get gunned down by Krikorian and The Derb. Those guys are firing M60s while JPod's just shooting spitwads.

NePodism: It's a horrible thing.

The philosophy of JPod.

Maybe someone can tell me where I'm wrong. Isn't his "philosophy" (I am dignifying things to make a point) the following set of propositions?

1 - Israel is my god, I will have no other.
2 - The purpose of America is to fight for Israel, identical to fighting for Good.
3 - Anyone who opposes these priorities is Evil and must be severely repressed.
4 - The Evil Ones are known by this sign, that they think outside the party line on any subject. All such heretics must be crushed. On this principle, political totalitarianism is identical to Americanism, i.e. a police state is very like baseball and apple pie and the Andrews Sisters.

Knowing the Pod's philosophy enables one to predict with tolerable accuracy what he will say and do in his role as a public "intellectual."

Again, I challenge anyone to show me where I'm substantially wrong here. And if I'm right, then his philosophy is a much more dangerous feature of the Pod than his apparent idiocy, no?

Why is a magazine with a tepid circulation of 27,000 considered newsworthy?

According to Wikipedia Irving Kristol had a degree in history and taught social thought at a school of business. Was he really a number-cruncher?

Doesn't anyone think it odd for the NYT to complain about nepotism at the top of a publication?

27000 circulation? Wonder when Pinch (son of Punch, son of...)will lead the NYT to that level?

Couldn't Steve have found another publication to quote?
