Every Bell Curve must start somewhere

New York Times Best Selling Pantload d’Doh, Jonah Goldberg takes up the banner of willful misinterpretation from Plagiarisin’ Ben-Do and wonders if Justice Ginsberg  wants to preemptively abort the next generation of pantloads.  This gives rise to a “very serious, thoughtful, argument that has never been made in such detail or with such care” on whether Jonah Goldberg is "stupid", "painfully stupid", or "stupid to infinity and back ".

Sensing an unfairness in a universe that also contains Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, anyone who calls Dr. Laura for parenting advice, and that guy in the Cardinals shirt holding the " Get a brain! morans" sign,  Ygelsias commenter ‘njorl’ comes to Jonah’s intellectual rescue:

I think it’s a bit much to call him stupid. He has below average intelligence, but not significantly so. It’s just rare for people of his intelligence to be given positions where their opinion is heard on a wide range of subjects. He’s like a slightly better educated Glenn Beck.

That is totally going on the back of Jonah’s next book providing there is another book and he is not his generation’s Ross Lockridge or Thomas Heggen.

Also. Speaking of books, thanks to loyal lurker Candy in LA for… y’know.
