I got about half way through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/War-Like-Other-Athenians-Peloponnesian\/dp\/1400060958\">his book<\/a> on the War between the Spartans and Athenians and like many other of my books a book mark is stuck where I left it beckoning me to finish someday.<\/p>\n<p>My Buddy sent me one of the typical emails with nothing but a link to some bit of punditry in it. Today&#8217;s was a piece by Hanson pooh poohing the harrumphing about Newt Gingrich&#8217;s three wives which he seems to excuse because he&#8217;s &#8220;grandiose.&#8221; Mormons of old got nothing on Newt.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I took the bait and sent my Buddy this reply:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Buddy,<\/p>\n<p>Hanson should stick to the Spartans and their eccentric homosexual military organization where his moral flexibility is aided by his historical view. He probably likes the historian Gingrich&#8217;s romanticism but I wonder if Hanson ever decried the GOP&#8217;s desire to remove Clinton from office for lying about his daliance with an intern? Maybe Hanson was too busy writing about the Greeks back in the 90&#8217;s to offer his opinion on Clinton for public consumption. For that matter Newt himself seems to have a different standard for Clinton than he has for himself.<\/p>\n<p>Harry  <\/p>\n<p>On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 5:46 AM, [your Buddy] wrote:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishworldreview.com\/0112\/hanson.php3\">http:\/\/www.jewishworldreview.com\/0112\/hanson.php3<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victor Davis Hanson is one of the current Era&#8217;s right-wing political pundits.
