Yeah, Israel! Inquiring minds like the WashPost’s Max Boot (Israel can’t stay neutral in Ukraine’s battle between good and evil) and Josh Rogin (As Russian atrocities mount in Ukraine, Israel must take sides) want to know! How long, O Israel? How long? How long can you not take sides in the greatest moral issue of…

Yo, Max Boot! Here’s your explanation! Donald Trump is simply the cherry on top of a pre-existing GOP sh*t sundae!
Max Boot is confused. Noting that nothing Donald Trump says or does, not even pissing on those who die for their country, has any effect on the president’s “base”, he wonders Why do Trump supporters even go through the motions of trying to discredit the latest allegations? Their support hasn’t been shaken by all of…
Yo Max Boot! Congratulations on exposing Phyllis Schlafly! Now try exposing yourself! (Well, you know what I mean!)
What is the deal with Max Boot and why do I keep making fun of him? Well, for one thing, his name is really short and fits easily in a headline. Another is that, well, he has a habit of falling short of the truth—the whole truth, that is. El Maxo is a very solid…
Who’s dumber, Elizabeth Warren or Max Boot?
To my mind, Elizabeth Warren is basically a Hillary Clinton who doesn’t summer in the Hamptons. That is, a well-meaning know it all who wants to run your life for you. So when disillusioned conservative Max Boot took aim at her in the Washington Post—“Elizabeth Warren has lots of ideas. Bad ideas.”—I was (largely) content…
“Democrats need to beware their looney left,” says confirmed looney Max Boot
“As I’ve traveled around, speaking about my book on how extremists hijacked the Republican Party,” says WashPost pundit Max Boot. “I have been hearing from Democrats who are worried that the same thing is happening to their party. They have good cause for concern.” Well, that’s true, and much—but certainly not all—of what Max has…
Random Rants
Max Boot, feelin’ full of pith n’ vinegar. Again. Back in the day, when invading other countries first began to seem like a good idea to some people, Max Boot rushed to the very front of the queue o’ stupidity by opining that “Afghanistan and other troubled lands cry out for the sort of enlightened…
Max Boot’s The Corrosion of Conservatism: A major mea culpa just a few culpas shy of a load
Max Boot has written another “what happened to conservatism?” book, similar but superior to Charles How the Right Lost its Mind Sykes and Rick Everything Trump Touches Dies Wilson, because Boot, unlike both Sykes and Wilson, is willing to re-examine the historical record and discover, among other things, that, yes, the young William F. Buckley…
Max Boot explains it all for you
Unintentionally (I guess) funny piece by Max Boot, published by those cut-ups at the Weekly Standard. Max explains, and I would say that there’s at least a 57% chance that he’s right, that our “alliance” with Pakistan isn’t worth the pain: it would be better to have them outside the tent pissing in than inside…
The surge that wasn’t, the surge that didn’t
Max Boot’s rather un-Bootish* review of Robert Gates’ memoir, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, gives me an opportunity to take another whack at Bob, who in some ways was not that bad a SecDef. I mean, he didn’t bomb Syria or Iran. Nice guy! Still, there are things from Bob’s memoir that rub…
