A Truly Sick-Making

interview of McCain campaign mouthpiece Michael Goldfarb by Rick Sanchez of CNN in which Goldfarb states that Rashid Khalidi is "anti-semitic" and Sanchez mildly defends Kahlidi. At least Sanchez pounds Goldfarb when he says "we all know" of another person Obama hangs out with who is anti-semitic. Goldfarb has a faintly thuggish cant-take-this-sh*t-too-seriously grin, even as he channels Joe McCarthy. Does he mean Brzezinski? Wow. There are some consolations in this: the great reveal of the Hitchcock suspense thriller has taken place at last, and no American except Jeffrey Goldberg can be in doubt about the neocons' Israel-first agenda; these people are about to vanish from the American stage making way for my lefty krew; and young Goldfarb, said to be a protege of Bill Kristol, may well have destroyed his reputation, with some of the shrapnel winging their way into the tumid loins of his progenitors and my turgid prose.
