So I was reading about how The New Republic got snookered by some infantry dude named Scott Beauchamp in Iraq, who made up a bunch of stuff and embelleshed a bunch of other stuff to create these Michael Herr-like dispatches diaries from Baghdad. Long story short, The Weekly Standard has been going after TNR pretty viciously over fact-checking or, more specifically, lack thereof concerning these diaries. Looks like TNR lost the fight.
But then I read this other link to a piece by Max Blumenthal writing from the left over at the HuffPo. And about half way down, he basically just goes off and makes fun of Matt Sanchez for having done some gay porn back in the day, and then of a recently fired TNR employee for, um, being gay. Which, well, let's just say that I think that's a little bitchy.
