Now Andrew Sullivan is joining Glenn Greenwald, pretending that he, too, does not comprehend — or is morally opposed — to black humor.

Again, in an earlier post I poked fun at the irony of the Obama administration’s insistence on both (1) freeing terrorists from Guantanamo to Yemen — a hotbed of al-Qaeda activity where many released detainees have rejoined the jihad — and (2) the robust use of drones missiles to atack terrorists in Yemen and other battlefields.

I suggested that the Obami could have their cake and eat it, too, if they released the terrorists to Yemen and then attacked them in the baggage claim area at Sanaa International. (If it’s anything like Dulles or JFK, it’s a place they are likely to have to linger for a rather long time. Can’t you imagine the former detainees watching the bags go around the carousel? “Hey, Hamid, isn’t that your suitcase? The one with the smiley face on the luggage tag?” “No, no, Mahmoud. I always use a rainbow strap. Avoids confus — ” Kaboom.)

For this, Andrew calls me a “neo-fascist.” (To Andrew, is that worse than a neo-conservative?)

I addressed Greenwald here. I’m not sure whether Andrew failed to read that response (he makes no mention of it) or doesn’t care, because when there is a cheap shot to take, why would he do anything other than take it?

I also suspect people of Greenwald and Sullivan’s persuasion believe conservatives have no business emplying irony, satire, and parody. After all, If there are jokes to be made, there are qualified people on the left who can make them! (Al Franken, for example.)

Update: “Media Matters,” which pretends to do media criticism but in fact does left-wing agitprop, runs this headline: “NRO’s Cliff May calls for summary execution of Gitmo detainees.”

The first comment, however, is from someone with his head screwed on straight: “Now that’s funny . . . I don’t care who you are.”
