Big Media Spanking.

I do not endorse Paul Mulshine's central contention -- that Putz ought to get off his ass, head to Iraq and "go cover the war" -- because I don't want the bowl-headed douchebag to be martyred. However, this observation is spot-fucking-on:

The more I look at what passes punditry on the Internet, the more I realize that a great number of the self-appointed pundits are mere parasites. Their relationship to real journalists is that of a tick to a dog.

The fattest, most engorged tick of them all is Glenn Reynolds, the self-proclaimed "Instapundit."

As the name implies, Reynolds endorses the theory that in the era of the Internet anyone can provide political commentary instantly, i.e. without benefit of reflection, experience or knowledge.

There's no doubt this can be done. But why do it?
