Kissing arse

David Horowitz, a former left-wing activist now right-wing attack dog (and editor of Frontpage mag), is fond of the Republican party under George W. Bush. How fond? Here’s David describing his recent attendance at the White House Hanukkah party:

“I hadn’t been at an event with the President (who is looking slim and trim) in four years and didn’t know if he would recognize me. But the minute he saw me in the line he called out ‘Horowitz’ with a big smile on his face, then embraced me in a bear hug. In the moment I had his ear I said, ‘Thank you for taking all those arrows for the rest of us.’ Graciously, he said, ‘You take more than I do,’ which I don’t and said so. Then as I was walking away he called out, ‘Don’t let them get to you.’ I called back, ‘Don’t you either,’ and he replied in a strong voice. ‘I won’t.’

A force for freedom in the world salutes his king.
