printWhat I love about Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s remarks about John Kerry is their intelligence. The guy is sharp. Witty too.
Ya’alon lambasted Kerry “as ‘inexplicably obsessive’ and ‘messianic’ in his efforts to coax” Israel and the Palestinians into a peace agreement.
“All that can ‘save us’ is for John Kerry to win a Nobel Prize and leave us in peace,’ Ya’alon was quoted saying to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
I’m not sure if this last hilarity qualifies as a syllogism, but the allusion to the trajectory of Obama’s peace-making efforts works magnificently.
Defense Minister Ya’alon is also passionately vested in his analysis of the Kerry character.
I can’t imagine one of our feeble-minded morons in public office coming up with a cutting or clever comment on any topic.
Ditto our columnists. Other than yours truly, Ann Coulter and Mark Steyn—I can’t think of a columnist who is in possession of a funny bone. And I don’t mean potty humor; I mean stringing concepts together to come up with some absurdly funny reductio.
UPDATE I: Greg Gutfeld is really really funny, although he is not someone I read. He’s a riot. Clever too.
UPDATE II (2/16): Fred Reed rocks.
