McArdle once again

I’ve blogged about Megan McArdle’s belief that “get married before you graduate college” is good advice. And that poor people should be kept down because inequality of opportunity is a good thing. And her conviction that being wrong about the Iraq war doesn’t mean her judgment about war is bad.
Roy Edroso catches her now arguing that even if American policy on Syria (whatever it is this week) works, that doesn’t prove Obama was right, just lucky! And in fact he’s so incompetent he’ll probably get people killed sooner or later! And compares it to an argument she made previously, that just because Iraq-war opponents correctly foresaw things would go wrong doesn’t mean anything because they were really just as wrong as she was when she said the war would go great.
Proof, as I said at the Pundit Job Security post that it’s next to impossible to be so vapid a pundit you can’t hang on to your job.
