Paul Campos is a professor of law at the University of Colorado.  You can sense his keen legal mind at work in this Rocky Mountain News opinion piece where he beclowns himself attacking Bill Kristol:

But how respectable is Kristol, really? Anyone who pays the least attention to him soon discovers that the ruling passion of Kristol's life is to involve the United States in as many wars as possible, with as many enemies as he can find or create.

In short, Kristol thinks about war in much the same way the narrator of Lolita thought about 12-year-old girls: with a constant, obsessive, perverse longing.

I choose this analogy with some care(!)… For my part, I'd rather give the Porn King the Presidential Medal of Freedom than shake Bill Kristol's hand.

Try not to be thrown the by the Porn King reference.  Professor Campos spent literally the entire first half of his story writing about a local character known as the Porn King, all to set up that final line of how unrespectable Bill Kristol is.  Good Lord – in addition to thinking sloppily and lazily, the professor can’t write!

Why am I linking to this?  Because it is an excellent thing when the American left reveals itself.  Paul Campos, in spite of his years of academic training, can’t even begin to grapple with the idea that men of good will can disagree on things.  For Campos, the world apparently separates into two camps – fellow travelers and Porn Kings. Why do I somehow suspect that when he sits in the faculty lounge, Campos often lashes out at President Bush’s Manichean worldview?

I humbly suggest that Moveon.org put Professor Campos in charge of all future print advertisements.
