    I hate to be the one to say it, but she makes some OK points. Rohde was actually pretty naive. #andreapeyser

    Ms. Peyser publishes in a two-dimensional world, so maybe she can be forgiven for often forgetting there's a third. #andreapeyser

    Waitaminute. Has anyone ever seen Andrea Peyser on the street? I think she's a composite cartoon like Ed Anger. Even her photo seems to be stitched from spare parts. #andreapeyser

    I love that she uses "illegals" just as we'd expect her to. Do you think her editor has had a talk with her about her n-word use or does the editor just take it out on his/her own? #andreapeyser

    There are some serious flaws with Rohde's "analysis" of the Taliban motivations. First of all - he declares the Quetta shura to be more moderate than the Haqqani network who captured him. Really? All the news reports I've seen consider the group down in Quetta to be pretty damn violent and extreme. Rohde continues to claim that our actions since 2001 are what galvanized the Taliban into extremist tendancies. Did he forget the actions of the Taliban government from 1996-2001? This was a group that outlawed educating women, tortured ethnic and religious minorities, and sheltered international terrorist organizations. The Taliban sheltered Al Qaeda, allowed them to carry out attacks against Western targets. But it's our actions since 2001 that have caused them to be extreme? Seriously? He actually says he did not realize how violent and extreme the Taliban had become.

    Not that Peyser is sane, but Rohde's article is worthy of critique, and I've been glad to see that some are doing it. Peyser isn't the best example of this, but there are some decent critiques floating around out there. #andreapeyser

    In reply to How We All Helped Rush Limbaugh Buy His Tacky House
    From the NYT Magazine, 7/6/08:


    Table talk focused on Limbaugh's house, or rather his concern over my reaction to it. That afternoon I wondered aloud what a single man with no kids could possibly want with a house that size. He frowned, obviously interpreting it as a hostile question, a Democrat question...


    "I don't have a home that says, 'Look who I know!' "


    "No, you have a home that says, 'Look what I have.' "


    "Why would you say that?" He sounded genuinely surprised, possibly even hurt.

    @notsofresh: Interesting quote -- I like the fact that he was surprised. What I also find interesting is that people are upset that he is successful. It is easy for this to change... don't listen to him. He is no different than Martha Stewart (who has many homes, some far larger than this one), Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise (who is pretty vilified in the press too)etc... No one asks why they have such enormous properties. He is a successful entertainer who is enjoying the fruits of his success. I hope he keeps spending and spending -- gotta keep that economy moving somehow.
