Victor Davis Hanson, the military historian-turned extremely predictable critic of President Obama, writes a slam of the president’s Nobel PeacePrize speech for National Review, knocking it for “verbosity”: “4,000 words plus!”
The post in which Hanson makes the criticism is 675 words; before reading the speech he published a post of 372 words. Of all the arguments a prolific conservative writer can make against Obama, this is one of the strangest.

I'm going to have to take a nap before reading what Bill Whittle wrote about it.
