ebonlockD. Aristophanes takes on Dinesh D’Souza in the aptly named blogpost, "Symphony in Retarded Minor", and makes one of the most brilliant references to the Wonder Twins ever:
Weird. The lefties and bin Laden have so much reason to despise each other, and yet they are best chums when it comes to trying to undermine Bush, according to D’Souza. So if the American left and bin Laden were the Wonder Twins, they’d be all, “Form of … a gay-married couple in bondage gear!” … “Shape of … a nice-sized rock to stone the gay-married couple to death with!”
D'Souza really is the gift that keeps on giving. Example, D'Souza says:
So Bush faces two kinds of enemies: the radical Muslims abroad and the Pelosi left at home. The two groups, whose values are sharply opposed and who never speak a word to each other, are nevertheless working in a kind of scissors motion, each prong operating separately, but toward the same end. Bush may discover that his enemy at home is no less dangerous than the enemy abroad. The war on terror might be lost not on the streets of Baghdad but in the corridors of Congress.
To which D.A. can only reply:
In the 1,403 days since the Iraq War started, Bush and the Republicans have controlled both the White House and Congress for 1,386 of them. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have now controlled Congress - but not the White House - for precisely 17 days (12, if you count actual business hours).
Yet in a stunning offensive, D’Souza would have us believe, the “Pelosi left” and its al Qaeda allies already have the war on terror trapped in a friggin’ pincer movement. Why, in just those famous first ‘Hundred Hours’ alone, Iraq went from peaceful, democratic land of collegial debate over theological nuances to murderous and chaotic hellhole!
Folks, this is your 2007 Hoover Institution Rishwain Fellow. Wingnut welfare, indeed.
Though this comment sums the whole thing up beautifully:

What's sadder still are the number of idiots who listen to huys like these and nod their heads in brainless acceptance. "If a wing-nut said it, it must be true!"
