Lileks one, Woolcot zero

Lileks is a wonder at ironic writing...
Wolcott is on the alert for new rhetoric that portrays Hezbollah as a threat to America. Apparently these magic words will whip all the Fox-clouded lummoxes to support the neo-con plan to spasmodically attack irrelevant social organizations for the mere joy of watching rubble bounce and limbs fly. As if Hezbollah was formed a few weeks ago as a ladies’ auxiliary to the Lebanese Orchid Enthusiast’s Society. Well, their leaders have an interesting applause line: DEATH TO AMERICA. Granted, it’s boilerplate, but after 9/11 I’m inclined to take them at their word.

Yes, yes, I know: again with the 9/11, as if that gave the United States license to attack any Islamic militant organization that spent the last two decades killing Jews, Marines and other infidels. I’m sorry I brought it up.....

And he is hilarious in his columns on nostalgia too...
