And, by the way, Podhoretz keeps deleting the comments that disagree with his stupidity. The silly sucker IS a hack job.

Also, nice hack job with Podhoretz. You allege a claim from Podhoretz and then provide a link where he writes no such thing. Podhoretz’s attack was of the personal nature, but you portray Klein’s offensive comment as merely a partisan debate.
