Totally brilliant. It was worth the 3 k o' blow for this post.

God damn, I love it when Three Bulls! gets raised into "witty" and "erudite" if only for a fleeting, incandescent moment.

Heh. Manichaeanism. Indeed.

Rick motherf***ing Perlstein, bitches, observes: Orrin's wife is Jewish. Dig. But he writes: "Jews too were justifiably, though unnecessarily, persecuted for their beliefs and inability to conform to social norms."

Always good to meet a fellow Orrinologist.

Jeebus, I didn't even know about his wife. How are they raising their kid(s)?

I'm actually an Orrinologist of the old school, having read him back when he was just reviewing books. (I think my own late, lamented blog actually predated his.) It's quite fun to go back to his site, as he is, at least, honest, even if also somewhat lacking in perspective.

But how in God's name did you find this post, which I put up in the wee hours last night?

Feedster.com. I type in "Rick Perlstein" just about daily. Lonely work, writing.

I compare Orrin to Rubishov in Darkness at Noon, the old Bolshevik who acquiesces to his own execution becaue the dialectic demands it of him.

I'm sure if you asked Orrin about the kids, his out would be that "our" "culture" is now "Judeo-Christian."

He has an answer for everything.

I spent a whole day arguing with him to go on to Digby to defend himself. Practically called in a wet, sopping pussy. But no dice.

Oh, yes, and his family is supported by Orrin's wife, a doctor.

Sweet feedster. Ah, the internecine, nay, Byzantine warfare of intellectuals.

My new favorite joke: "I'm Rick Perlstein, bitches"

It's not funny at all, but it has a certain je ne sais.

It does have that je ne sais, and it is fuuny, but only because Chapelle is off the air.
