Wolcott SPANKS Podhoretz!
John Podhoretz has joined the posse of basket-weavers at NRO's The Corner, and he's already making a big splash. He's been embroiled in an epic fight with emailers who take umbrage as only conservative dweebs can at his interpretations of the Star Wars cosmology. Today he tore off his bib and make it clear he had had enough from these cyber gnats.

"I'm getting a lot of e-mails from obsessive fanboys who insist that the good guys in the Star Wars movies didn't start the wars in question but were tricked into it by a 'Dark Side of the Force' conspiracy. It's almost impossible to wade through all the nonsense on the Web to get to the bottom of this, and to be perfectly honest, I have no interest in doing so. The fact that George Lucas is such an incompetent storyteller that it's impossible to figure out who started what and when is Lucas's fault, not mine. Let's just agree to this: The Jedi know how to beat people up and how to slice their arms and hands off -- and they are not averse to blowing up a Death Star or two. Okay? Now move out of your parents's basements and join an Internet dating service before you lose all your hair."

You mean, like this?
