The D’Souza Scale
– posted by thehim
Carl, I’ve got a real post coming soon. In the meantime though, I think this new book signals the need to define an actual metric for wingnuttiness. D’Souza has finally shaken off any pretenses about what the political right in this country really thinks and is now basically saying, “Hey, Bin Laden’s right, liberalism is terrifying, America’s gotta go!”
I think we finally have the perfect score to measure everyone else by.

Ah, Dinesh… Not the fellow Big Greener I’m most proud of.
He and his fellow alums of the odious Dartmouth Review have been a stain on the good name of the school for the last couple of decades.

Well, Ayman Al-Zawahri is a surgeon. Turning into D’Souza or Al-Zawahri really isn’t a function of one’s intelligence, but more a function of one’s paranoia, usually compounded by events that provoke that paranoia.
