I see Matthew Yglesias isn’t the only person who doesn’t like my Foreign Policy magazine take on the relationship between Carter and Obama.
Rush Limbaugh rolled the tape of my appearance on the PBS Newshour (below, or here) last night and accused me, as far as I can make out, of covering up for Obama and siding with Jimmy Carter II against the American people.
The website stoops even lower; it has a transcript of one of my comments that includes my “ah, ah, ah” as I try to organize my thoughts on live TV. Call me an Obama apologist, Mr. Limbaugh and I can take it. Call me a pointy headed intellectual and shill for the establishment, and I can weather the storm.
But to reproduce my ums and ahs, sir, is a step too far. Pistols at forty paces; my second will be in touch with yours to designate the time and place of our meeting.
