I thought the article judicious and thought-provoking, perhaps if anything rather easy on Kramer. The author's disagreements are respectful, and given Kramer's controversialism, rather mild. Of course, I still get a chuckle out of an article in CounterPunch that called Roger Kimball a "Sith Lord" (it's a Star Wars and thus pop culture thing, Tim), which, regardless of whether or not one agrees with the characterization, is nevertheless a vivid slagging of the guy.
