...dilettante) than Bouvard and Pecuchet, I fear I might also have come to share this habit of theirs. Stupidity is a harsh word. To use it is to suggest that one speaks from a more enlightened plane, which in my case would be an absurdity comparable to Hitler's claim that he was a man of peace.

...time, displeased with then-Attorney General Robert Abrams' failure to prosecute against Pagones, Sharpton angrily compared Abrams to Hitler. But when asked to denounce his ally Louis Farrakhan for Farrakhan's anti-Semitism--Farrakhan called Jews bloodsuckers and their faith a "gutter religion"--Sharpton demurred, explaining, "I don't publicly denounce anyone...

Now where?s that Von Trapp family when you need them...
