Blumenthal père et fils

Today at FrontPage Magazine, David Horowitz has an article called:

An Inherited Genetic Disorder
Max Blumenthal, son of Sidney. Enough said?

In the piece, Horowitz tells how the son has followed in his father’s footsteps as a low-level political assassin. He then does a nice—and thoroughly just—job of sticking in the stiletto himself:

If Max’s father had a sense of decency, his paternal instincts might have led him to caution his son before embarking so early on a bottom-feeding career. But Sidney Blumenthal has no such decency and would not even know how to perform this paternal function if it occurred to him to do so.

Also, I’m glad Horowitz has reminded his readers of the elder Blumenthal’s role as Clinton’s hired thug (though Blumenthal would not have had to be paid for such work, since it is his metier). The whole world forgot, or never took in, Blumental’s sworn testimony, broadcast on national television during the Senate trial of Clinton, that Clinton had told him to spread to reporters the story that Monica Lewinsky was a “stalker” who had threatened to make up a story of an affair with Clinton if Clinton refused to have an affair with her. This presidential command of Clinton’s, perhaps the lowest of all his low acts, never penetrated the public consciousness. Instead, this human excrescence continues to be honored throughout the entire (liberal) world, including, not least, the Bush White House.

However, I’m concerned that by saying that Blumenthal’s destructive leftism has been passed genetically to his son, Horowitz could be accused of anti-Semitism. That’s a joke.
