and rips Obamacles a New (The) One:
"Do intellectuals — real and imagined — believe, like Barack Obama, that those who were born in 1922 lived through the two world wars? Or that sometimes we have 57, sometimes 47 states? Or that brave Americans liberated Auschwitz? Or that old Kentucky borders on illiberal Arkansas, but not on progressive Illinois? Were Barack Obama a mom of five from Alaska with a Fargo accent, long ago we would have learned the candidate was a weird sort of Chicago law professor who never wrote a scholarly essay, a strange sort of Harvard Law Review editor who never published a legal article, and not all that deep a thinker who thought inflating air tires negated the need to look for more oil".

I thought the byline was wrong till he started trying to sell his classical history books at the end (as usual).
Still, his Jeremiad contra Jeremiah was great. I didn't know that Wright had gone after the Italians. Funny. What did they do to the schwartzen?
A good read. Dunno about VDH. More reliable than Hitchens or WFB but sometimes not himself.
