Some Red Meat For The Horse

If The Horse hated Christopher Caldwell on Karl Rove, they'll loathe James Pinkerton on David Frum in the Washington Post Book Review.

Pinkerton's review combines the bland insipidness of Frum himself with Pinkerton's own bad writing, such as this sentence:

Recalling an impromptu exchange in a hallway with liberal stalwarts Barbra Streisand and Harvey Weinstein, he recounts his ringing vindication of Bush's Kyoto-phobic position on global warming after what he considered their ineffective challenge.

Huh?

In the end, the right-wing hack gives a less than glowing review to the other right-wing hack, possibly because the right-wing hack didn't get his own book deal to write about being a right-wing hack in the White House, and is hacked off about it. The right-wing hack ends his review by quoting the right-wing hack's conclusion, "War had made [Bush], as it had made Roosevelt and Reagan, a crusader after all."

Ah yes. I'd almost forgotten about the historic War Against Grenada.
