    As it is wont to do, Fox News was recently showing a clip of a CNN panel in which one of the panelists was saying something more ridiculous than usual.

    On the far left of the panel, I caught a glimpse of a silent Jonah Goldberg.

    And the question suddenly came to my mind, do modern progressives still use the old Communist term, “useful idiot”?

    I suppose that, at least for now, their checks clear.

    Mona Charen wrote the book twenty years ago and then turned into one.

    Hmm, seems like maybe Jonah did the same eh?
