Talking Points Memo is tut-tutting about the over-reaction to their Insolent Braggart post calling for the execution of global-warming “deniers.” It was a joke, we’re now told. Boy, they really “freaked out” Marc Morano. How clever of them.

But, uh, the Insolent Braggart already filed an apology on June 5.

Of course, maybe that, too, was a joke; consider this line:

There are many things that separate the views of progressives from the views of conservatives (and especially neo-conservatives). But one thing I think our side does much better is admit when we’re wrong.

Did Alan Sokal hack into the Braggart’s account?
