Bloggingheads.TV, slouching towards dhimmitude?

i-0feaac69a1688b2c27c9f908604f93ea-galib.jpgSeriously, what's up with Robert Wright recruiting a terrorist-looking-dude to chat with the Elf? Is there any way this is good for the financial bottom line? Is this the face of D.C. punditry you want to present to a terrified country? Perhaps someone should look into Wright's bank transaction records and see if some Gulf money has started to flow in.... I mean, there's always a clean cut guy like Will Wllkinson, do we really have such a pundit shortage that we've got to yank a mullah off the bench? I mean, the split screen is a little too reminiscent of the partitions between men & women at mosque. Thank god bearded-guy didn't object to talking to a female; though perhaps the Hadiths make exceptions for sister clades to H. sapiens sapiens (I mean, do elves go to hell or heaven?) Come to think of it Douthat and Yglesias often look like they're about to interject an "Ibn" into the middle of their names too....

Update: Griping brings results.
