BECLOWNER EXPOSED

Academic Paul Campos, who evidently struggles to find a distinction between the murder of US civilians and the assassination of those who would themselves murder US civilians, is gently corrected by Glenn Reynolds. Of special interest: in that post, an Instapundit reader provides evidence of Campos “beclowning himself”. It’s the word of the day!

  1. You’re still not cool, Blair.

  2. And I say to those who have beclowned themselves, wear that red nose with pride because it’s not that we’re laughing at you we’re mearly laughing in your direction.

  3. Hmm.  Kill a small number of terror-enabling tools of a totalitarian government, or kill huge numbers of people who will, inevitably, include innocent civilians.  Quite a dilemma for lefty academics, apparently.  They also, apparently, can’t make sense out of what they read.

    As for not being at war with Iran, there are a whole bunch of military people who would dispute that.

  4. “Why does right-wing extremism in our universities,...”  #@^%*&

    Did I blink and miss something.  Where are these universities, I’ll send money!

    Maybe they should start a site or something, you could call it acryfromthewilderness.com.

  5. “Academic Paul Campos”

    I can’t thing of a more insulting term to have hooked to your name.

  6. For some reason my ability to post comments at volokh.com has gone kerblooie. Could somebody go tell them on this thread where the term “beclowned” has recently come up?

  7. #5., Dave Surls,

    Yeah, but with Campos, it fits in every nefarious connotation of the word.

  11. I’ve never read an Instapost quite as Blair-like in its literary style. Looks like the Prof reads you something regular.

    We may shortly be looking for synonyms for beclowning just for variety’s sake. Any thoughts?

    Jesterification?
    Harlequinosis?
    Buffoonescence?
    Emmettkellody?
    Busterkeatonuria?
    Comicofaction?
    Grockopexy?
    Eejitment?

    Oh, I’m pretty sure he does. I originally found Tim’s previous blog back in late 2003 when Glenn Reynolds linked to it something like half a dozen times in two weeks. (Well-deservedly so, I might add.)

  13. #11, Jim White:

    Would Pratfalloonery fit in with that trend?

  14. Beware the Columbian style beclowning!

    Clowns shot dead during performance

    The clowns came out to give their show and then this guy came out shooting them,” one audience member told local television.

  16. #11 - Damn you Jim Whyte. I was striding in here to pre-register “Bejestered”. My day is downhill from here.
