But they was just funnin', Bunky

Poor little Dinesh D'Souza. His latest book, which Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi for 9/11, isn't selling too well.

“He's bearing the brunt of the backlash against something a lot of mainstream conservatives have done -- blame liberals for a lot more than liberals have done,” said Scott McConnell, editor of The American Conservative magazine....

Even the man D'Souza calls his mentor, retired Dartmouth English professor and conservative columnist Jeffrey Hart, said of liberal-bashing: “That's the shtick.” [Yes! He said “shtick”!]

In interviews, some conservatives described liberal-bashing as a stunt that has grown old.
I met a dog once who could bite his own tail. So maybe if they're looking for a new stunt...well, I'm only trying to be helpful here.

That Jeffrey Hart, BTW, the retired English professor, was advisor to the Dartmouth Review, an unofficial student newspaper, back in the day when young Dinesh earned his conservative credentials [Yes! Conservative credentials!] by outing the campus gays. Yeah I know, that doesn't make much sense, but wait til you read this next thing: Hart thinks the Dartmouth Review is a “serious engine of conservative thought.” Toot, toot! Engine of conservative thought.

D'Souza is now a “research scholar” (probably how he found out about Nancy Pelosi) at Stanford University, which is also where that little Condi Rice came from too, isn't it? So maybe Stanford is another engine of conservative thought too, I don't know.

Damn. I just love saying that. Engine of conservative thought. Welcome to Tooterville.
