I am terrified that the man in the ugly shirt with the cutoff sleeves will suddenly raise that arm and showcase Larry The Cable Guy's Cable-like Armpit Hair.
@Monster Chalk: He has a career for the same reason that Sarah Palin was a sensation. Yet again citing Mencken, "no one ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
Larry the Cable Guy is the redneck Andrew Dice Clay. But at least Clay is a Jew from Brooklyn who we can presume has a glimmer of intelligence behind the dumbass facade.
@schmalerie: True that. It's impossible for me to watch. It's creepy and makes my skin crawl, especially Leno's laugh, which sounds like a cheap outboard motor sputtering out.
@Weegee's bored: I consistently find myself gritting my teeth and clenching my fists when he tries and eventually fails to interview people. Really, its not that difficult to ask softball questions and make a couple well-timed jokes here and there. How could someone this socially awkward have landed this job? I don't get it.
I'm not sure about all this "brain power" leaving the conservative movement. These are people, after all, who supported--and in Frum's case, shilled for--the dumbest President in modern American history.
When I read about the South Carolina priest who was denying communion to people who voted for Obama because of abortion, I wanted to write and ask him if he was denying communion to people who voted Republican because of racism. I doubt that he is keeping his sins in perspective, and shame on him--particularly in Strom Thurmond's home state.
@SultanaEleusis: "Pro-life," except in cases where we drop thousands of tons of bombs on actual, living people. Then, like, whatever dude. Vote how your conscience tells you.

And, more interestingly, why would Gawker go along with the mainstream media? Surely there is some inside media gossip that explains this, right?

Weird, it's the opposite for me.

And I like Christopher Hitchens. But this seems like a marriage too perfectly hell-crafted not to happen.
