Regression to the Poddy

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, an old adage says. In a similar vein, a half-wit shouldn't try to match wits . . . with anybody. Steve Sailer takes apart the embarrassingly mediocre son of Norman, John Podhoretz who has about a thimble-full of wit .

In a just world, Poddy junior would be selling shoes with Al Bundy, instead of being a nattering nabob of the neocon punditocracy. He currently holds forth at National Review's the Corner, which more and more resembles the Web equivalent of a high school study hall.
