Help me out here, readers: did Glenn "no bit of right-wing sliminess is beneath me" Reynolds devote this much space to the fact that Dick Cheney is a draft dodger and George Bush went AWOL? (At least the latter are facts!)
(Whenever I mention Professor Reynolds, I get some puzzled queries from readers in the real world: "Who is this non-entity? Why do you even mention this guy?" Reynolds is a law professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, so he is part of one of my professional universes. Among scholars, he is known for some well-regarded articles on the Second Amendment right to bear arms a decade or so ago. But his primary distinction is that he started blogging before everyone else, and so his right-wing news-and-link site Instapundit now gets about 150,000 hits per day. There are obviously lots of not-very-bright, right-wing shills working the blogosphere, including some who are also professors; but for the combination of impact, creepiness, and sometimes sheer dopiness, Professor Reynolds really is in a class by himself.)
