Megan McArdle’s Review Of Half Of A Book Doesn’t Get It Half Right

2:16 pm EST September 5th, 2010 | Conservative | 9 Comments

Some seriously embarrassing stuff here by one of the conservatives who is supposed to be one of the deep thinkers of the right.

But then, those of us who have been paying attention for years now know that the blogger formerly known as “Jane Galt” in homage to the infamous Atlas Shrugged often says stuff that doesn’t make sense.

That’s what conservatives do.

    “deep thinkers of the right:” an oxymoron, yes?

    Don’t forget that her hubby has worked for FreedomWorks(he still might for all I know), and if it wasn’t for wingnut welfare in general, he wouldn’t have a job.

    I’m not familiar with Ms. McArdle’s work, but if she’s got a gig at The Atlantic, which is one of the most respected magazines in the country, presumably this is far below her usual intellectual standard.

    Literal LOL, assumptions of non-ignorance, meet McMegan..

    I read her review, to use the term loosely.

    She really makes me want to read the book. So, good on her.

    McCardle brings a whole new brand of teh stoopid.

    And fuck the Atlantic for giving her wingnut welfare.

    Also, according to Megan proving a thesis is as easy as repeating it in italics. Man, I’m glad I found this out now. Grad school’s gonna be a breeze.

    There are deep thinkers on the right, from time to time, but it tends to be a self-correcting situation.

    Sort of like how it’s possible to balance a baseball bat upright, but it doesn’t stay there for long.

    I hate to be that guy, but Jesus Christ. It’s “McArdle,” with one “c.” Unless this is like TBogg always spelling it“Godlstein,” in which case, carry on.
