He looks like someone who has peculiar, unsavory personal habits. Like someone who picks his nose while watching TV and smears the deposits under his chair. Like someone who sniffs his toilet paper after he wipes himself.
This piece was packed chock-a-block with crap that I've already read/heard/assumed/divined, etc. This isn't a criticism of the piece as much as it's a wake-up call that I need to get a frigging life.
But seriously, no Commies this week? I guess Richard's California interlude is the explanation? Anyone? Help. Me. Please? It's like the highlight of my weekend.
@rosaluxembourgeoise: An hour ago I was stuck in traffic behind a plumber's truck. On the back was a garish bumper sticker reading "SARAH" in huge letters with a red apostrophe. Beneath, in small type, it read "McCain / Palin."
@Weegee's bored: Lizard-brain Nixon atavism. Remember, the Watergate thugs were called "plumbers". And at least half of them now have jobs on FOX News.
(Rick Perlstein's Nixonland has been invaluable campaign season reading- startling how little changes, amazing that disgraces like Liddy, Rove, and Buchanan are received in polite company, rehabilitated, considering what they were up to back then, filthy-tricks department.)
I see a certain Dentonesque irony created by a website constantly reporting the lay-offs in the magazine industry and then -- Thanks, Gawker! -- a summary of this special issue so that I don't have to read -- let alone buy -- the bloody thing.
@smithhimself: if you seriously aren't going to read a 5,000 page piece which was already readily available online (starting a couple days ago) because ten paragraphs of it were reposted on other websites...well...sir...you weren't going to read it in the first place.
As I understand it, Kristol was also one of Palin's strongest advocates when McCain was casting about for the lightest brick last summer. Let this be his Judy Miller moment, please.
you know me better than i know myself! come join us! at midnight tonight! i can promise you a rollicking good time. we start out some place classy like Schillers and by the next morning we are drinking Colt 45's on the curb of the Mobil gas station on the west side highway.
@bjonston: Maybe one day I'll get an Ignorie from Gawker since I'm wondering why I never got a star or an underlined heart. I have two friends one of whom is me. I think I deactivated something once...or how is this kissing-up done, exactly?
I just wait for Kreepy Kats every Friday along with my 2 tequila shots before bed.
Have a great weekend gang! Gosukusan and I are meeting for drinks at Schiller's Liquor Bar (at 131 Rivington at LES) at midnight tonight (date night!) if anyone cares to join us.
I'll be the 6'3'' blonde guy in the Jefferson Starship t-shirt so I will be easy to spot.
Drinks at Schiller's are actually very reasonable. The only problem is the bar space is very crowded so if you see some hot tail at the other end of the bar it is hard to work your way across the bar.
But with the deft assistance of my number one wingman and tag teamer Gosukusan the crowd should not pose a problem.
I am well aware that there are many people on the leftward side who are guilty of intellectual dishonesty in the service of their cause, but there's something about the ones on the right that really makes me want to swing heavy metal rods at their smug, cockbrained heads.
@Moff: @Weegee's bored: Or perhaps because it is easy to believe that a liberal agenda is for the greater good as opposed to the Republican agenda which is for the good of old white dudes and Evangelicals.

Poor guy. If he would just let the gay out he would immediately grow more liberal and be endlessly more likable.
