Ouch.

Michael Ledeen, last seen here badmouthing your beloved editor, has been pwned by Paul Saunders... in The Corner! How embarrassing!

Bizarrely, Ledeen also tries to make a distinction between offering “political and moral support” and offering “encouragement” to the Iranians backing Mousavi in the street protests. This makes little sense. The dictionary provides several definitions of “support,” most of which I assume Ledeen is not proposing (though I suppose he may want America to pay the protesters’ bills, presumably secretly and perhaps through his good offices, as he once established key connections in Iran which facilitated the Iran-Contra disaster).

Oh. Dear.

Total third rail.

This will not end well hilariously.

Stay tuned, dear readers.
