Jonah Goldberg, Moral Monster

It will not be news to regular readers that the know-nothing journalist Jonah Goldberg of the right-wing National Review is morally depraved and deficient in basic human emotive and cognitive capacities–after all, that was obvious when Professor Cole wiped the floor with that pathetic chickenhawk war monger months ago.  But in case any irregular readers had doubts, do check out his joke at the expense of victims of the horrific hurricane in New Orleans. 

There are actually some jokes that people who aren’t sociopathic freaks don’t make; and sociopathic freaks, lo and behold, turn out to be enthusiasts for criminal and immoral wars.  Who would have guessed?  No doubt the fact that he has "let the cat out of the bag" about the moral depravity of "his kind" accounts for the vigor with which right-wing war mongers are denouncing him.

UPDATE:  More right-wing soulmates of Mr. Goldberg are coming out of the closet.  (Thanks to Keith DeRose for the pointer.)
