He said that he never wanted to be in an ideological battle [link] when he “reported on the dastardly deeds of our troops in Iraq” for TNR, but Scott Thomas Beauchamp is, again, lying.

Michael Goldfarb at The Weekly Standard blog points us to this article in the Columbia Missourian. The article was about a leftist campus freak named Glenn Rehn. It mentions his close comrade.

“Glenn is completely submerged in politics on campus. It is honestly impossible to think about politics at MU without thinking of Glenn,” says Scott Beauchamp, editor-in-chief of Prospectus, a liberal campus news magazine. Beauchamp and Rehn met one year ago while campaigning for Howard Dean.

There are also allegations that he’s sleeping with a female staffer at TNR and that is how he got this assignment, but I don’t know and I shan’t go into that end of it. (Ace does, however, likening the whole arrangement to Val Plame and Joe Wilson.)
