The Word “Despicable” Is Too Nice For This

| @jpodhoretz 08.31.2008 - 8:46 PM

I can’t bring myself to link to it, because it is so hateful, but a certain blogger obsessed with beagles is now retailing a story about Sarah Palin with the broad hint that her recently born fifth child is actually the issue of her daughter. After posting his vile innuendo, he has continued to defend himself for hours on the grounds that it is up to Palin to prove him wrong. His intellectual degeneration has been on display for several years; now, evidently, it is being followed by a moral and spiritual degeneration twice as profound and vastly more meaningful.

    For now (until Emperor Hopenchange and his band of Euroweenies decide that Hamas means peace in Arabic), Israel is far better off with the opnely genocidal Hamas as a foil rather than the phony, propped up with international $ and legitimacy Abu Mazen (Fatah).

    The charade has been no good for Israel and will culminate in a second Oslo being rammed down Israel’s throat (yes I know the first one was not rammed down its throat).

    “Emperor Hopenchange” – I like that.

    I agree that it’s better to half a declared enemy than one in disguise. I would argue that the first Oslo WAS rammed down Israel’s throat by a few people in the gov’t at the time. It was not brought to the public’s attention until it was too late – and then basically just presented as a fait accompli.
