Tek posted recently that he and Pollack were laughing about the NeoCon's inability to quote him. Stanley Kurtz loves him.

Yep, saw tek's comment. If I were you I wouldn't trust Kurtz' rendition of Pollack. Pollack's book is very serious, multifaceted, policy analysis of a very high order. Kurtz strikes me as more like an Alexander Cockburn of the right than anything else. Serious, of course, but perpetually writes the same thing whatever he is writing about. Nothing new, ever.

ahem. tek posted that they were laughing about the low odds of the administration's quoting him, not necessarily neocons more generally. there's a decent bit of diversity within the broader neocon camp, and individuals can often surprise one. And as something of an ex-neocon myself, and someone with a number of neocon friends, I hardly would tar all of them with a loonytunes brush. (Check out Steve Rosen's op-ed in the WSJ journal today, for example, for a very nice piece of analysis.)
