The Bovious Instalanche - Bovious

The Bovious Instalanche - Bovious turned up on Instapundit the other day with this question:

Q: "What's the quickest way to shut Noam Chomsky up?"

A: "Ask him a linguistics question."

Then, he adds:

Now, my assertion seems to have at least some validity: although I'm not qualified to comment on Chomsky's linguistics work, it would appear that at least some of his linguistics work bears remarkable similarities to his political discourse...

...Chomsky quote edited - read the post.

But if you studied linguistics in college, you probably remember Chomsky's linguistics work being at least as out on the logical limb as his politics.
