That’s exactly what it got last week when the foremost Imam of the radical Left, Noam Chomsky, bestowed his blessings on the world’s largest terrorist army, the Shiite jihad outfit sponsored by Iran and known as Hezbollah (“Party of God.”) Following a meeting with Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese terrorist group’s “secretary general,” Chomsky announced his support for Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm. Then, in an echo of Nasrallah’s recent declaration that President Bush is the world’s top “terrorist,”...

I don't like the intellectual label. In the academic world, most of the work that is done is clerical. A lot of the work done by professors is routine. I assume you are not referring to your own efforts as a professor emeritus at M.I.T. and world-renowned linguist.
