More Corner Follies.....

With the exception of Stuttaford and Brookhiser (oh, and getting to read the Administration talking points Lowry dutifully passes on), I only read The Corner for its comedic factor these days (Bill Buckley, in private moments, must be dismayed by the ludicrousness of it all). But, it must be said, the burlesque has really been quite something of late, not bad as cheap entertainment, as far as it goes. Why, even Michelle Malkin has felt compelled to comment on some of the passing show, addressing Michael Rubin's latest high-brow musings. She called them silly, in fact, which is rather a damning charge coming from Michelle. But yes, as Malkin points out, mistaking run of the mill forum shopping for some dark Teuton stab in the back (pull our bases East to Bucharest!) is rather silly, indeed idiotic. Perhaps it's just that Michael is still traumatized somewhat by his tempestuous Icelandic passage? I know Michael, it's a big, scary world out there, isn't it? But please, let's separate navel-gazing umbrage from policy recommendations, OK?
