Juan whiffs

Yesterday we noted Joel Mowbray’s Washington Times “Hatchet man or scholar?” column on the posted pensées of prospective Yale professor Juan Cole. Cole has now posted the most elliptical of responses to Mowbray’s piece, a response that neither mentions Mowbray’s name nor acknowledges Mowbray’s column. Nevertheless, even though he claims he is above responding to criticism such as Mowbray’s, Cole took a whack at Mowbray’s column. As he has under similar circumstances in the past, he swung and missed. See Mowbray’s follow-up column this morning.
