Patrick Frey and Matt Welch are just hammering useful tool Eric Boehlert of Media Mutters for America. We’re talkin’ utter devastation — total Maximus Decimus Meridius takedown territory for the useful clown at MMFA.

It’s too good (so follow the links above), but Patterico went over there, signed up, and posted this:
There’s lots more (so again, check those links). But hey, give it up for Patterico!
And FWIW, follow Boehlert’s further circus performances on Twitter.
