Marty Peretz Is ... Is There Something More Kooky Than Batshit Crazy?

So by way of Scott Lemieux (and be sure to read the comments on the thread) I found the latest exercise in illogic from Marty Peretz - and I've got to say he's outdoing himself, trying to dig ever deeper to create a new low on the crazy scale. Peretz blames the Clintons for Lieberman's loss ....

Yeah, you can read that again - but you processed the words correctly the first time. Peretz thinks Bill Clinton is deeply unpopular with Democratic primary voters (duh-what?!?), and Clinton coming into the state to back Lieberman sunk Lieberman.

OK, that's nuts - the most popular president in memory campaigning in a state he won twice among his own partisans ... But wait, it gets better.

The common wisdom is that Al Gore would have won in 2000 had he embraced Clinton more or had he allowed Clinton to embrace him. Well, look at what happened to Joe.

Ummm, how in the hell did this man pass 4th grade (or, to be more charitable, 6th grade)? And he actually controls one of the leading media megaphones (well, according to some) among the DC elite. Ugh.
