"An Ideological Battle I Never Wanted To Join..."

So says the very nonpartisan Scott Thomas Beauchamp, baffled at how an apolitical such as himself could possibly have been swept up into an ideological malestrom.

O rly?

“Glenn is completely submerged in politics on campus. It is honestly impossible to think about politics at MU without thinking of Glenn,” says Scott Beauchamp, editor-in-chief of Prospectus, a liberal campus news magazine. Beauchamp and Rehn met one year ago while campaigning for Howard Dean.

Rehn, incidentally, promised to spend every penny he had, bankrupting himself, in order to campaign for Howard "Interesting Theory" Dean. That's from an article linked on WStandard blog -- which I'll suggest you click on.

Check out the byline. Or do you want to just guess at what it is?

You know what it's going to say, don't you?

I'd say Allah's they-only-met-at-TNR theory is, well, rather scotched at this point, Old Boy.

Dan Riehl has more on Rehn and Beauchamp, reluctant ideological warriors. Kind of interesting how an old blog post of Beauchamp's included the image of someone who'd lost half their face in war.

An image, of course, that would resurface in Beauchamp's "reports" from Baghdad.

Note to Scott Thomas Beauchamp: Dude, you were ragging on how awful the war in Iraq was before you were even out of Germany. Please don't sell us this nonsense about your having no previous partisan stake in any of this.
