Apropos of nothing in particular, I went to summer camp with our buddy Goldfarb about 15 years ago. And gosh, he doesn't seem to have changed much at all. I've been trying to figure out which would reflect more poorly on Goldfarb, Kristol, and their ilk: that they actually believe the nonsense they spew, or they simply view it as a tool to remain in power.
Clearly these people have some functioning brain synapses, even after working on such a vile and fact-free campaign, so I'm tempted to think it's the latter. And I suspect that that IS worse. When you have Joe the Plumber on TV suggesting that Obama will bring about the end of Israel, that can be laughed off as simple (though dangerous) ignorance. But the Kristols and Goldfarbs of the world need to be put out to pasture for a good long while.
