Further Proof He's A Douche

Philosopher and Hufflepuff blogger Bernard-Henri Lévy, he of the Free Polanski petition, has made an ass of himself. Again.

This time by quoting heavily from Jean-Baptiste Botul's "The Sex Life of Immanuel Kant" in lectures and in his own book. The thing is, Jean-Baptiste Botul doesn't exist and his book is a hoax perpetrated by journalist Frédéric Pagès. Oops!

While we're on the subjects of douches, know who else is a total nozzle? Whomever wrote the piece, including this closing paragraph:
Levy last stirred controversy when he published an account in 2008 of his visit to Georgia during the war with Russia that French newspapers said contained excerpts that were made up.

Really? That's the last time he "stirred controversy"?
