Am I the only person in the Commonwealth who laughs

out loud whenever Jeff Jacoby starts ranting and raving about the perils of theocrats and theocracy?
Good Ghod but if Jeff could press a button and install a witchburning wowser like Gary Bauer or Pastor John Hagee into an American Pontificate he'd do it without blinking an eye.
Otherwise, Jeff has his boxers in a twist because Harvard has invited Iran's former President Khatami to give a talk...this somehow constitutes appeasement of Iran in Jeff's fevered imagination hence all the screeching about theocracy.
So who is he to spite the Iranian Mullahs who lord it over Iran thanks to their pious death grip on the franchise?
Hell they've only implemented the cherished political dreams of Grover Norquist and his piratical crew!
Hell the Mullah's are nothing but the GOP's teachers in this respect.

Jeff is the biggest apologist for religious sectarian politics in the Northeast.
The slightest criticism of the preaching of blatant GOP politics from the pulpit and Jeff starts howling like a red headed stepchild.
Thats the only thing we have to keep uppermost in our minds.

Anyway, lets face facts, the news is so bad from out of Iraq that even Jeff can't puit a gladsome face on it anymore. Hence this pre-emptive screed against pro-Iranian academics or whatnot.
