I'm really hoping that Gellman's comments about the Euro Parliament election here are tongue-in-cheek. If not, it's an unfortunate sign of how closed-minded some individuals are in every field of Political Science.
I can't say that I find the kind of work most Americanists do as interesting as, say, Comparative or IR, but I recognize the value of the study of American politics, and (perhaps more importantly), I realize that Americans and other people around the world might have something to gain by learning about European politics (another area that I don't study).
Strange that the brilliant and talented Gellman wouldn't instinctively agree with this.
