It's a popular past-time in Washington DC these days, but who doesn't love a bit of neoconservative bashing, especially when it comes from one of the 20th century's greatest liberal minds?
What did the eminent Arthur Schlesinger think of the following paragons of neoconservatism?
According to Gideon Rose, filling in at the Economist's Democracy in America blog, Schlesinger described these Beltway players like this:
The New Republic's Marty Peretz: "unprincipled egomaniac."
Commentary's Norman Podhoretz: "an odious and despicable ex-radical."
Columnist Charles Krauthammer: "writes particularly obnoxious neo-conservative trash."
Ouch! Arthur! Tell us what you really think!
A good old fashioned tip of the hat to Kevin Drum for the find.
