Intellectual Alert - Hot Air

Too bad, as the guys at Hot Air are usually pretty good. I read them quite often. Then again, this entry is from the blogger who calls himself Allahpundit. I've said before that he's a jackass. Now he's confirmed it by using the most asinine word in the language.

To whit:

Spellbinding and agonizing for many reasons, foremost among them the fact that Maher’s tepid disapproval seems to be the only thing keeping the moronic audience from siding with this willful imbecile against two of the world’s leading public intellectuals.

"Public intellectuals." As opposed to "private buffoons."

Anyone who uses the "intellectual" label is a putz, but Allahpundit goes the extra mile. "World's leading public intellectual." Wow. I had no idea that someone was measuring the intellectual prowess of everyone on Earth. If Hitchens is leading, we're all trailing? And who's dead last? The plumber sitting on the john reading The Economist, or the university professor sitting on the john reading Playboy?

Allahpundit shouldn't be calling anyone an imbecile. Like David Brooks, he has achieved High Putz status.
