Do NRO readers have an answer for everything, or **WHAT**?!?!??!?!!

“Mr. Derbyshire—With apologies to the late, great Flip Wilson, he of ‘the

devil made me do it’ fame, a Satanaut is one who takes no responsibility for

his transgressions, but, rather, blames someone else: in this case, Old

Scratch. Thus, if I were to libel someone by publishing forged Texas

National Guard memoranda, and if my calumny were to be exposed as a fraud,

as a full-fledged Satanaut, I would exclaim, ‘Hey, don’t look at me; Satan

ought to take the rap.’ Ergo Satanaut.”
