Hilariously, when I first heard of Max Boot about 15 years ago my boss at the time explained him alternately as "a conservative apologist" and "the Times' pet pussy conservative."

I thought I was a pretty big lefty at the time and I couldn't see anything allegedly conservative about him. He sounded more like some of my solidly leftist friends who were overeducated and incapable of socializing without talking about politics, where they would assume the persona of a condescending assistant professor. A lot of them would probably have been called "beta cucks" today.

Anyway, that's literally all I can think of every time I see that "aren't I charming " avatar of Boot's that hasn't changed in 20 years.
