GAME, SET, MATCH

To steal a line from PJ O'Rourke, demonstrating that David Horowitz is a stone idiot is about as challenging as hunting dairy cows with a high-powered rifle and scope. I mean, even amongst the shrill, hapless little Joe McCarthy's-leg-humpers who "enliven" our politics in much the same way that weevils "enliven" a cotton field, Horowitz stands out both for the intensity of his invective and for the complete lack of serious thought or research which seems to underpin it. Having said that, this application of foot to ass by Michael Berube is a thing of pure beauty.
