Helping out:

Calpundit expresses puzzlement over Willliam F. Buckley's latest essay. Calls it "gibberish."

Well now. It seemed clear to us what he was trying to say. So, as a favor to Kevin Drum, we present a diagram of the essential points made by Buckley:



See? It all makes sense. A guard frisking a little girl naturally leads to a discussion of Stalin's last evening, and that brings to mind Abdul's dirty linen, which forces us to suspect that Hollywood actors are in league with the French - whose president should drop his pants the next time he visits 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Calpundit is a pretty bright guy, and we're disappointed that he couldn't follow Buckley's obvious argument.
