Pudge, i.e. Chris Nandor, is a Perl programmer by day.  By night, he's a right-wing nutjob, and one of the most reliable barometers of wingnut CW I've found during Bush's reign.  He's some combination of libertarian, fundamentalist, gun-nut, and dittohead, who unfailingly produces orthodox wingnut views that I would never be able to imagine on my own.  For example, here's his take on Bill Ayers:

How completely out of touch do you have to be, to assume that just because a terrorist is a professor in Chicago, that he has been rehabilitated?

Pudge is awesome because he is completely insane but, unlike most wingnuts, he can produce complete sentences and even, sometimes, complete paragraphs.  If you want to keep up with the latest crazy, there's no better source.

I found this incredibly honest and brutal. Frum takes Maddow on about her show, on her show, and neither of them back down at all for a full 10 minutes. I find Maddow's sarcastic partisanship a bit over-the-top sometimes, but Frum managed to draw out her intelligent side in this clip. I think she did a decent job of engaging him while remaining in the reality-based community and being reasonably polite to a guest, and that Frum was a bit of a douche. Thoughts?
