Comeuppance

Michael Berube good-naturedly tears former Stalinist David Horowitz a new one:

My apologies for seizing on a mere quirk in the format, FrontPage fans! Not being very good with computers (as this blog’s regular readers are well aware), I had no idea that the posting of Bill Moyers’ picture alongside the Ayatollah Khomeini’s was an entirely innocent feature of the site. Nor did I understand that the mere listing of these figures in the database was not intended to suggest that there are organizational links or common agendas or coinciding agendas between these individuals. Again, I’m not very good at deciphering databases. I simply thought we were being invited to, uh, how you say, “Discover the Network,” and that the “Individuals” page indicated pretty clearly that the Network consisted of people like Bruce Springsteen, Zacarias Moussaoui, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Rob Reiner. My mistake! Thanks for clearing that one up!
