Iowahawk has written what is likely to be the most quotably plunderable post of the entire year.
****
Jeff’s indignant update: It’s a long year. And I haven’t even started yet. So I wouldn’t count me out so quickly, Dan.
****
Dan’s reply: Fair enough, but at the end of the day you have to admit it’s awfully wizard, wot? old man!
David Brooks sings about his affair with Obama.
De Gouden Hoer
Heh.
Ha! Rivalry and emulation!
I got a kick out of the millstone Iowahawk left around Moran’s neck.
jinx Collins
Its hilarious.
But. Because I love our host, not quite as deep or language challenging as Jeff’s stuff (when he posts =p).
I denounce myself.
say it ain’t so
Matthews sounding fed up with Obama’s earmark hypocrisy
I wouldn’t buy into the lib commentators going anti-Obama. I think its the current wave so they’re riding it. Ultimately, Matthews, CNN, the networks, all in the pocket of Obama and deeply invested in a Lib victory.
The problem, which I think Matthews realizes, is very similar to the problem with GW Bush. Bush would not defend his policy choices and neither will Obama. The reason for Bush is I don’t think he believed he had any obligation to respond to left wing criticism and with Obama, he thinks he will have press cover, either now or a month down the road, when the country turns on his “progressive” policies.
As delightful as the ‘hawk’s parody was, nothing beats unintentional self-parody.
Behold.
And don’t miss the thread over at Ace’s about that same parody I linked in #8. Classic moron thread, almost as good as the one where they sparred with the vegans in Oz.
Sorry, it has to be said.
‘hawk is a genius.
And I still wnat to know why he was banned from Lucianne.
cathy young idiot or frumpy parody
?
hey fat thor do you feel better if i say castro’s cuba or hugo’ v? dumb cunt
That whole thing is somehow even funnier, if you imagine the speaker to be using his best Thurston Howell the third, northeast blue-blood voice…
Mongoloid
Mmmm, bacon.
Rod Dreher? When last seen he was in an absolute snit about the Katrina outrages — how Bush’s failure to declare martial law and take over Louisiana led to the inevitable rape and cannibalism (wow, crunchy!) that happens when the lower classes are left to fend for themselves, out there in the dank maw of nature, before RoboShep arrives to save them from their own baser instincts.
I can’t believe that guy has a fucking job.
It begs the question, is there anything
that the Crunchy Cons, like Rod Dreher
still conservative about. Most of the people on that site, or New Majority,
have so disowned the Right, that their
comment sections are even moreinundated
by leftist drivel, which they don’t even acknowledge, because their enemy is the Right.
Too bloody funny! It was Christopher Buckley to a “T”. We’ll see how the crew at NRO responds–I sent the link off to Jonah Goldberg. I think they have a sense of humor–we’ll see. I’ll bet Steyn is laughing his ass off.
Mmmmmmm, Crispy Cons.
ask mike steele about that libtard
Cathy Young is a thoughtful writer and commentator.
While I take her point, I think what she neglects, in drawing the distinctions between various socialisms, is that one need not go all the way to gulags and camps to use variations of the tools (media manipulation, speech codes, etc) that have been used by some countries that engage in socialism. Hell, that’s what liberal fascism was all about.
Dreher should know when he sets out to defend “sophistication” that it is not necessarily the same as “being an insufferable pointy-headed ass.”
When people assail the “elitist” Right, they are almost always attacking the insufferable and pointy-headed — who are a subset at best of the truly sophisticated.
When they actually are sophisticated, which frequently they are not.
NUANCE!
Indeed, I would aver that true sophistication eschews elitism as a matter of course. After all, some of them bitter, God-and-guns-clinging rednecks are purty dang shrewd.
I’m not in a satire place yet I don’t think. I watched router’s clip though. This is just Chris Matthew’s way of helping make Baracky’s dirty socialist pezzydency a success, no? His job is to set up both of his socialist dicklicker guests to defend Baracky or reframe the issue to where his dipshit ass is innoculated. The tell is when Chris says “don’t you think the Dow would stop dropping if we had a president who would stop signing pork bills?” cause that’s too stupid to be real. Even meya’s not that stupid. And the farce of letting media whore loser McCain speak for the Republican party speaks for itself.
i’d like to see where she was over the last 8 years about the rhetoric coming from the left.
old huck riffs on socialism and my god A LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED
and cathy young what about rev wright? or do you have the bigotry of low expectations?
well, why don’t you go look, router? it’s not like she hides her stuff.
(By the way, it is appalling that so many mainstream liberals were willing to embrace the unrepentant Ayers—but it’s hardly better for mainstream conservatives to “pal around” with Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy, who once plotted to murder his fellow Americans and more recently counseled gun owners to shoot federal agents in the head. response: I was talking about a situation in which law enforced agents comes smashing into a house, doesn’t say who they are, and their guns are out, they’re shooting, and they’re in the wrong place. This has happened time and time again. The ATF has gone in and gotten the wrong guy in the wrong place. The law is that if somebody is shooting at you, using deadly force, the mere fact that they are a law enforcement officer, if they are in the wrong, does not mean you are obliged to allow yourself to be killed so your kinfolk can have a wrongful death action. You are legally entitled to defend yourself and I was speaking of exactly those kind of situations. If you’re going to do that, you should know that they’re wearing body armor so you should use a head shot. Now all I’m doing is stating the law, but all the nuances in there got left out when the story got repeated.)
cathy young “reason”
cathy young is a libtard playing the libertarian angle
cathy young is a fat frumpy parker with noonan incontinence
I remember disagreeing with her once. I think it was about Beauchamp.
cathy young sides with the feds wrongfully invading your house and she calls herself or writes for a publication that calls itself libertarian. yea sure
I can remember disagreeing several times.
You can do a site search for Cathy Young. I’ve had many many conversations with her over the years. She is hated by leftist feminists.
You don’t have to agree with me about her, but I’d appreciate it if you stop it with the attacks on her physicality. She doesn’t deserve it.
Here’s Cathy on multiculturalism. Listen to her flaunt her libtardism!
Cathy has always been willing to engage and have fair debates about her columns. She’s accessible and thoughtful, unlike the majority of columnists — many on the right — who won’t return an email unless you promise to buy their books or dogsit for them.
fatfrumpy parkerattacks on her physicality rectified
sorry her moral equivalency of gordon liddy and ayers is too much. her stupidity of attacking liddy for telling people how to defend themselves from the government wrongfully invading their property and then telling me she’s a libertarian? actually she fits in with the fraud that is know as “Reason”. “Reason” folks like drugs sex and r&roll. Constitution national security not so much. cathy young knows who pays the bills. pjm et al pay the bills
and she had what to say about the folks attacking prop 8 supporters?
Cathy has written more than just a few columns. Some I’ve agreed with and others I haven’t. And yes, I think I went after her once for what I thought was a kind of boneheaded equivalency argument.
The thing is, Cathy has always tried to keep discourse productive and invective free, almost to a fault. But to people here who are interested in the men’s rights movement, she has long been one of the most forceful allies among the classical feminists.
I dunno. You tell me, and I’ll tell you whether or not I agree with her.
And what does this prove, anyway? If you don’t agree with her, fine. But she’s not your enemy, and in fact, she’d be willing, I’d bet, to debate the issue with you.
Libtard Cathy Young on Elian Gonzalez.
I named my puppy Barnett, after Dean Barnett.
Someday, I’ll name another puppy…
Cool, there’s a show on National Geographic channel about the Colombian hostage rescue.
fine for her. i’ve listen to 8 years of ceaseless Bushbashing. this loser that the otherside has chosen is not going to gain some new opinion venue. folks like c. young can stand atop their soapbox and decry the acrimony. i don’t listen anymore. i want to defeat these frauds and crooks.
something in the last 18 months might be more persuasive.
You want me to read all her columns for you? If you don’t find my word persuasive, fine. Discussion is over.
— Though her blog is active. Here’s from March 2 2009.
My favorite line:
“The deluded lad has ignited his birthright on a pyre, sent it down the Ganges, and reincarnated himself as just another Bayou Babbitt.”
Crispy Cons, the one and only ceral that comes in the shape of William Buckley!
Normally I don’t like internecine slapfights after a lost election, but as a man who saw his representative endorse the democrat after he lost the primary, I think sellouts and RINO’s need to be shown the door.
Ottawahawk is a genius. Between this and yesterday’s Levin show, Frum would unplug his modem and never leave the house again if he had any sense of shame.
Here’s the next David Frum at work, The Stupid Party.
George W. Bush wasn’t a good salesman for his policies, and unfortunately no one in his administration was. The president and his close staff can not, really, get into a pissing contest with media critics. That would elevate the media critic and lend legitimacy to the criticism, and it is fighting the media on their own chosen terrain.
They have to respond obliquely by selling the policy, not responding to critics. That response is the job of a Carville, and the Bush administration didn’t (or couldn’t, perhaps) have any they could rely on to do just that. The Obama administration coordinating an attack on Rush Limbaugh shows why that shouldn’t be done – they are giving him a larger forum to speak from, and speaking is what he does all day, and he isn’t obligated to show results for any policy he advocates, unlike the administration. They seem to have forgotten that the President is the big dog, and they are seen picking on the little dog. That, I think, is a very bad narrative to establish.
I think, with the administration concentration on Limbaugh, with the obvious animus they bear to a critic, the Fairness Doctrine just got cancelled.
Dan,
I, for one, take Jeff’s comment to heart. Which is why I expect a full-on satire of the 1965 classic The Outlaws Is Coming!
Starring Moe, Larry, and, unfortunately, Curly Joe. But, see, Curly Joe: that’s where the genius comes in!
And:
Larry Fine: Outlaw!
