Paul Mulshine tears Glenn Reynolds' face off.

I know TS has already written about this, but Mulshine's post is just so delicious, it deserves even more promotion.

Now, normally, I'd be insulted by a passage like this:

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."

But because it's about Putz, all is forgiven.

The other day Reynolds had a post in which he blasted media outlets for cutting back coverage of the Iraq War. I first learned of it on Instaputz, a site devoted to documenting the idiocies of Instapundit.

And that's exactly why Instaputz exists -- to ensure that MSM types like Mulshine (some of whom still call him a "libertarian" or "non-partisan") know what a right-wing GOP hack he is.

Get off your fat ass, Glenn, and go cover the war. If you think you can make a better war correspondent than, say, Tom Ricks of the Washington Post, well just hop on a plane and prove it.

Well, we know that's not gonna happen.

Instapundit's comments amount to little more than a lawyer's brief against real journalists for failing to act as cheerleaders for the liberal internationalists who conducted this exercise in nation-building. The funny thing is that Reynolds, like other lawyer-bloggers, can do excellent work when he sticks to what he knows, which is the law. But he is totally naive when blogging about war.

And everything else, including the law. Otherwise he wouldn't be teaching at a 3rd-tier law school.
