Jonah Goldberg of the National Rview is a spectacular moron

[Phokus]

"I do think my judgment is superior to [Cole's] when it comes to the big picture. So, I have an idea: Since he doesn't want to debate anything except his own brilliance, let's make a bet. I predict that Iraq won't have a civil war, that it will have a viable constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans will, in two years time, agree that the war was worth it. I'll bet $1,000 (which I can hardly spare right now). This way neither of us can hide behind clever word play or CV reading. If there's another reasonable wager Cole wants to offer which would measure our judgment, I'm all ears. Money where your mouth is, doc," - Jonah Goldberg, February 8, 2005.

What disturbs me about the neo-con media is not only how they get every aspect of the war wrong (as i mentioned in another related thread), they have so much bravado about it like Jonah here. Even in the face of looking like a complete buffoon, they are defiant till the bitter end.

Pride goeth before the fall

Some think too highly of themselves and rush into things that bring them back down to earth. Their blindness prevents them from seeing their failure, until it's too late.

The worst thing is that this clown is still not dealing with how wrong he was. He has barey admitted it but not admitted what it says about him.

He must have been assured by those he disseminates the propaganda for, that they will foot the bill. He has the proverbial snowball's chance of winning that bet.

He inherited the dips*it gene from his mom, Lucianne.

Jonah Goldberg comes from a long living linage of Conservative Slime Molds

He can trace his particulary offensive strain directly through the wet spots of the Lewinsky debacule through his mother -LooseWheel

Smudges of this smutborn biohazard are thought to have originated back in the Nixon Days with the spawn of political evil, she being a convenient sell-out for $ 1,000 a week.
