Imagine my surprise when I found out that Victorino Matus of The Weekly Standard had mentioned me in one of his columns. Imagine my chagrin when I realized I'd managed to come off like an ass. Even moreso than usual, I mean. All over something I'd written over two months ago.

Matus notes that I said he was "full of hot air." Alas, I did say that. But I didn't mean it to come off so harsh. It just came at the end of the article where I was attempting to explain the error of his ways. :-) Now I wish I'd said "he's all wet when it comes to this issue. Just for the record, I don't think Matus is generally full of hot air, and even if I did, it would be pot/kettle/black. Anyway, I hope Matus keeps on writing his usual good stuff, and I thank him for the mention.
