Brainbridge 3, Chait-Confessore-Farrell 0 (bluntly)

Professor Bainbridge is, ah, somewhat blunt in his riposts to Jonathan Chait, Nick Confessore, and Henry Farrell. To wit;

"Wrong."...and...
"Wrong again."...and...
"Huh."...and...
"In sum, Chait reveals himself to be woefully ignorant of both the academy and conservatives."...and...
"And all of Chait's obfuscation can't change that basic fact."...and...
"For Chait's tired rehash of long disproven stereotypes to qualify for Confessore's top spot, it must be the only thing Confessore's ever read on the subject."...and, finally...
"So spare me your stereotypes and generalizations. And stop using Karl Rove's (highly successful) campaign tactics as your spurious justification for discriminating against conservative academics. Just because your Democrat party can't beat Bush doesn't justify taking our your anger on right-of-center job applicants."

I might be so bold as to add that Farrell's whining about "...Republican attempts to appeal to voters (as, for example, the pillorying of Al Gore for using big numbers and complicated ideas)." is well-taken. The Republicans should have left this alone because Gore's use of big numbers and complicated ideas only served to prove what a total moron he really is.

(Psssst! You misspelled the good professor's name in the title block.) I know, but Brainbridge seems so much more, er, apropos, so...piss off.
