Stupidest Man Alive: The Winner:
Stupidest Man Alive: The Winner
I regret to say that Donald Luskin of National Review is not the stupidest man alive.The stupidest man alive is Jon Derbyshire of National Review.
Yes, that’s Jon “I Got Mine, Jack! Pull up the Ladder!” Derbyshire:
The Corner on National Review Online: REFORMED [Jon Derbyshire] A couple of readers to this effect: “Aren’t you a bit embarrassed to be laying in to illegal immigrants, having confessed that you yourself were once an illegal immigrant?” No. I look on it as being sort of like the reformed drunk at a temperance meeting.
Besides, there’s INSIDE and OUTSIDE. I can recall thinking, as an i-i, that Americans were kind of naive about immigration. Since the naivety was to my personal advantage, I didn’t complain.

This is of course the same guy who claims that only adolescent girls are attractive. This is conservatism, I guess.
The key word there is entitled: that sense of entitlement undergirds the current conservative mindset.
