When taking to task the incomparable Seumas Milne, the relentlessly asinine Stalinist of The Guardian, Norm states (rather optimistically), that "stupidity does have its limits".
With all due respect, Norm - this is a serious underestimation of Milne. Watching his mental (mmm...) contortions for the last ten or so years, I cannot avoid reminding myself the eternal words (was it my beloved professor Challenger of The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?): "Before I met you, I have been certain that there is a limit to human stupidity" (not a precise quote).
Believe me, the man has just started to spread his wings. If there were a position for an angel of stupidity, he would have been a second pretender to it - only because he is too stupid to be first in anything.
Milne is a gift that has barely started to give. You just wait - the unearthly delights are coming!
