High Brow

Fellow Anglo-Israeli blogger David Bogner has shown his indignation towards Jerusalem Post columnist Larry Derfner.

Jerusalem Post columnist Larry Derfner is laughable on so many levels that I’ve generally avoided mentioning him here… except to occasionally poke fun at his Groucho Marx-esque eyebrows (which look like they were drawn onto the stock photo that accompanies his columns with grease pencil).

Also… what kind of writer calls his column “Rattling the Cage”? My guess is that it is the kind of arrogant writer who feels it is his duty to disabuse the readers of their dearly held, but terribly flawed beliefs.

While I usually agree with David, he is off the mark here.

Derfner is way more Sam the Eagle than Groucho Marx.
