20 Questions

Brent Bozell wants to play with the Washington Post and, in particular, Ezra Klein.

An okay start, I guess. But I can think of a few questions I’d like to see asked that didn’t make Bozell’s final list. For instance –

21) How did the experience of being repeatedly jammed into a gym locker as a tween influence your politics and sense of “progressive” advocacy?
22) Is it true that you can never really get the smell of jock strap out of your nostrils?
23) You little bitch.

Feel free to add your own questions in the comments.

    Ezra,
    Do you hate the retard, extra-chromosone conservatives with a burning passion, loathe them to the depths of your soul, or just detest & damn their very existence?

    How often do you masturbate to the Newsweek cover featuring Sarah Palin in her biking outfit? Weekly, daily or multiple time a day?

    What gives you the idea that you are smarter than the average tse tse fly?

  13. Comment by Makewi on 7/28 @ 2:43 pm #

    If the progressive side of the coin is so much smarter then everyone else, why do you guys keep getting caught being dishonest?

  14. Comment by DarthRove on 7/28 @ 2:43 pm #

    25) Did you really think that if you did this, Amynda Marcotte would give you that hummer? Really? Really?

  15. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 2:45 pm #

    Other than Jared Bernstein and Orszag, what other contacts did JournoList have with the Obambi campaign, in any capacity.

    Does Ezra get a gold star for eating all of his vegetables?

  17. Comment by Alec Leamas on 7/28 @ 2:47 pm #

    24) Did anyone mention to you when you were making that face as a child that there was a possibility “it could freeze that way?”

    P.S. the take on the Sinistrosphere is that there is a difference between “secret” and “private” (for goodhearted Leftists, it is left unsaid). Also, “plenty of other professions do it too and it’s no big deal.” I suppose they don’t mean to include police officers, defense contractors, or oil executives, who are always up to some black-hearted mischief, as we all know.

  20. Comment by geoffb on 7/28 @ 2:56 pm #

    How incredibly stupid does one have to be to qualify for Journolist membership?

    Do you have better security arrangements on your new list?

  21. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 2:56 pm #

    my ezra klein designs are fine
    i’m resigned to that

  22. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 2:58 pm #

    Ezra – When the members of JournoList were munging Swimmer Kennedy’s stanky corpse, were you felching goats while watching them? Yes or no.

  23. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 2:59 pm #

    i shoot an arrow in the air
    where it lands i do not care

  24. Comment by alppuccino on 7/28 @ 2:59 pm #

    JD,

    Mung and Felch are spices best used sparingly.

  25. Comment by alppuccino on 7/28 @ 3:00 pm #

    ….and besides, I had Klein as a Paddington Ambush kinda guy.

    I assume he plays the role of the teddy bear then.

  34. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 3:23 pm #

    You guys are cracking me up. Paddington Ambush. Teddy Bear. Urbandictionary. Who woulda thought?

  35. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 3:25 pm #

  36. Comment by mcgruder on 7/28 @ 3:33 pm #

    Not sure how the guys from Time and BBerg kept their jobs.

    Here’s the funny: Katha Pollitt and Ezra Klein were the voices of sanity on that stupid thing.

    Thinking I should drop this Mcgruder shit.

  37. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 3:35 pm #

    The least sane appeared to be law school people and j-school professors.

  38. Comment by Mike LaRoche on 7/28 @ 3:46 pm #

    The least sane appeared to be law school people and j-school professors.

    Hence, elitist jackassery like today’s gutting of Arizona’s SB1070. They have rendered America’s legal system a farce.

    Is that smegma on your chin?

  43. Comment by Spencer Ackerman on 7/28 @ 4:05 pm #

    The smell of the jock goes away in time, it’s the shame that stays with me forever.

    It’s that gnawing knowledge that I am not in control and I never will be.

    I can rise to the top of my class, I can get my face on CNN, and even score with a few of those no-makeup DC lefty chicks with the dubious hygene and the faint whiff of insanity about them.

    I can do all that, but deep inside I know that if I ran into Kurt and Steve from 3rd period social studies, they could still jam me in that fucking locker and there is not a damn thing that I could do about it.

    That’s why I (who am definately not Spencer Ackerman) fantasize about tossing people through plate glass windows, because I am never, ever, going to be capable of tossing anyone through a plate glass window.

    My own voice ehoes in my head still…STEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE! IT’S DARK IN HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE! KURT? THIS ISN’T FUNNY, MAN! I’M SCAAAAAAAARED!

  44. Comment by Spencer Ackerman on 7/28 @ 4:07 pm #

    that’s so sad spencer

  46. Comment by LTC John on 7/28 @ 4:37 pm #

    Mr. Klein, do you hve an edgy on-line nickname like “Attackerman”?

  47. Comment by dicentra on 7/28 @ 4:45 pm #

    Are the members of JournO!-List above editing or even creating classified documents and then “leaking” them in such a way as to discredit a war effort?

    Which Obama admin made the request?

  48. Comment by Spencer Ackerman on 7/28 @ 5:00 pm #

    The only thing those leaked documents discredit is the idea of having a bunch of punk-assed attorneys in charge of a war effort the way we do in Afghanistan.

    It’s a good thing I’m not a general in the army or there would be broken safety glass windows frickin’ everywhere down at JAG.

  49. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 5:14 pm #

    spencer erza needs help with his jock strap

  50. Comment by geoffb on 7/28 @ 5:22 pm #

    Mr. Klein. Tell us, in your own words, how the phrase “mess of pottage” has come to have meaning in your life?

    Compare and contrast with what a substantial portion of the electorate thinks of the phrase and it’s connection to “Journolist” and you?

  51. Comment by AJB on 7/28 @ 5:23 pm #

    51.) some more macho-man internet tough guy rhetoric. Maybe call Ezra Klein a fag or something i dunno.

  52. Comment by B Moe on 7/28 @ 5:26 pm #

    I would ask them why the jlist was almost all white men.

  53. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 5:26 pm #

    ezra does ajb like it up the arse?

  54. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 5:27 pm #

    ezra does being a bitchy pervert increase your chances of being a journolister?

  55. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 5:28 pm #

    you can call anyone a fag you want as long as they’re either not really you know that way or they’re Princess Lindsey

  56. Comment by B Moe on 7/28 @ 5:29 pm #

    Any idea why they weren’t more sensitive to the diversities, AJB?

  57. Comment by Mike LaRoche on 7/28 @ 5:29 pm #

    I would ask them why the jlist was almost all white men.

    Metrosexual white men, at that.

  58. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 5:31 pm #

    ezra why do so many of your group of white guys literally fellatiate baracky

    have you heard my new band this week they’re very awesome here you can click and listen

  61. Comment by Jeff G. on 7/28 @ 5:46 pm #

    I went and had a preliminary exam for bladeless Lasik today. I haven’t been able to see for years, and I hate hate HATE glasses. Never wore contacts, but I can guess I’d hate them just as badly.

    I’ve been holding off because I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the America the Dems are molding in their own weak, petty, controlling image. But I figure what the fuck: I’m paying for HD channels, may as well get some use out of them.

  62. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 5:48 pm #

    I’m thinking of doing that… I didn’t know blades were ever involved let me know how that goes my vision plan here will kick in a little for it but not a lot.

  63. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 5:51 pm #

    I love glasses but now that every other movie is in 3D it’s becoming stupid so I was thinking about getting contacts too when I get my next glasses just for to have them at Space Mountain and for going to the 3D movies and stuff

  64. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 5:53 pm #

    funny how the gov’t free lasik goes down in price

  65. Comment by Joe on 7/28 @ 5:54 pm #

    Maybe some whoop ass is in order?

  66. Comment by bh on 7/28 @ 5:58 pm #

    Everyone I know who has gone the Lasik course has been very happy with it, Jeff. A couple have better than 20/20 now.

  67. Comment by bh on 7/28 @ 6:03 pm #

    With contacts, you’re lucky if you start wearing them when you’re young. I could put needles into my eyes now and hardly notice.

  68. Comment by B Moe on 7/28 @ 6:14 pm #

    I would also ask Klein if he has any ideas of the best way to get out of a Sprint Air Card contract because not only is their 3g not the fastest wireless internet you can get it sucks so fucking bad it is unbelievable. I am on my third card in six months and not only can I not get a youtube to stream, but it takes on the average of about ten minutes for every minute of video to goddamn download.

    No shit, I am going to give them one more chance, then what are my options if the product is just not even close to what they sold me?

  69. Comment by newrouter on 7/28 @ 6:17 pm #

    This is where we’re supposed to make English jokes about ‘feets, JD.

    go back to GB and fellate some of their “conservatives”

    I heard he has terrible teeth and speaks with a posh accent.

  75. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:09 pm #

    why do clowns have big feet
    and stab?

  76. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:11 pm #

    i know i know i know
    i’m raising my hand/
    pick me pick me

    because they don’t have guns

  77. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 7:14 pm #

    I do have terrible teeth I had too much goddamn tetracycline when I was little cause of I was a sickly child… and I never got braces so I’m thinking about starting braces next year and then getting veneered while I’m maxed out in my dead end job and then I will look pretty at the next job interview.

  78. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:15 pm #

    yeah/clowns have guns
    the kind that spring confetti or make a poop sound
    but im concerned with their stabbing ability

    another jab at the hf twit–TCN teeth, probably a Brit who also fellates that wonderful Cameron!
    Also thinks the Davids are the cat’s pj’s, too.

  84. Comment by bh on 7/28 @ 7:20 pm #

    You have a delightfully wacky mind, buttons.

    Enough with your incomprehensible Cockney slang, ‘feets.

  85. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 7:22 pm #

    If a clown pats you on the back, you should shoot it in the face. And then again, just to make sure.

  86. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 7:22 pm #

    I send buttons comments to my friend D in Chicago on messenger all day and he tells me about the cupcake trucks and stuff

  87. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:23 pm #

    first year of barber college/ or charm school
    is spelling
    or not poking u in the eye with scissors

  88. Comment by bh on 7/28 @ 7:25 pm #

    Oh… don’t tell your friend I said Chicago was gay now. That was a joke. The idea of selling throat punches from a truck sort of hijacked my weak mind.

  89. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:26 pm #

    clowns are reknown in my town
    but john gacy buried people

  90. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 7:27 pm #

    Poking clowns in the eye with scissors is a good start.

  91. Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 7:29 pm #

    oh. He though that was funny cause he already had said it was the gayest business he had ever patronized and that him and the other D were the only guys in line except for the other guy and they were pretty sure he was gay.

  92. Comment by RCT on 7/28 @ 7:30 pm #

    Easy there, JD. Maybe feets just made a new friend.

  93. Comment by pdbuttons on 7/28 @ 7:31 pm #

    a clowns face/ cuz i’m colorblind
    is distorted and/ kinda friendly
    thats why i shoot him/her three times in the mask
    just to be sure
    pauly shore
    and once in the pants
    cuz clowns cant dance
    with a bullet in their pants

  94. Comment by JD on 7/28 @ 7:31 pm #

    That is an odd definition of friend, RCT.

    Ezra, if you get surgically modified just a bit more and rendered capable of bearing children (congrats, Matthew Yglesias will make a great baby daddy), will you name your daughter after a Communist country, maybe Venezuela or Cuba? Russia is already in play…maybe MarxyLynn would suit ?

    though he didn’t write it
    and i’d be like
    hey joe/ where u running to now?
    or/ hey joe/ where u gonna go?
    ain’t no hangman/ gonna put a rope around me
    and if i had a dog or a russian boxer turtle i could always
    sing that song
    as they tried to escape my benevolence

    I told you they filmed Atlas on my street and on Ventura not sure why yet we never saw any of the trailers what they give the important people so we think they were just getting location stuff but now I want to see the movie for sure.

    In other tv news the tv show they shot in NG’s apartment has been shelved cause of I guess it wasn’t very great. But it was free money for her at a time when free money was a very nice thing so that’s just fine I guess but I was curious to see. Also while they were filming they said help yourself to the catering but she never did. I gave her a hard time about that. I bet there were shrimps.

    Blue Crush was about cute girls (and maybe some silly hobby they had). If it was about cute girls getting kilt, it would have done better box office.

    “They said I was almost sane,” joked Binkley. “I looked like a near-breasted birdwatcher, not a goalie. We had a lot of laughs through the years and my NHL career was great while it lasted. You saw the movie Slap Shot? I played three years in that Eastern League. Our rink in Baltimore blew up! We moved to Charlotte, four to a car. Guess who was in my car? John Muckler and John Brophy. Our closest rival was Johnstown, 560 miles away. It was even further to Clinton, NY. I swear the state troopers had our schedule.”

    Slapshot:

    On January 17, 1984, while playing with Calgary in a game against St. Louis, MacInnis wound up and fired a shot from outside the blueline that caught Blues’ netminder Mike Liut on the mask, splitting it. Liut fell to the ice as the puck dribbled over the goal line. No one has taken Al MacInnis’ shot for granted since.

    A nice piece here on Vachon. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s biggest the reason the Kings are still in LA. The team very likely would have folded or moved in the ’70s if he hadn’t brought the fans in.

    The Edmonton Oilers of the 1980s were the best hockey team ever. The Canadiens have had some great teams, and the Islanders were great in the late-70s, but damn, the Oilers’ starting five were all first-ballot Hall-of-Famers.

    As if the Journolist weren’t all about high-school. They were the kool kidz, you know.

    nobody expects the spanish/our chief weapon is surprise
    surprise and fear…fear and surprise
    our two weapons are fear and surprise..and ruthless efficiency..and a almost fanatical devotion to the pope
    our four..no..amongst our weapons..
    amongst our weaponry..are such elements as fear/surprise…
    i’ll come in again

    Parrots are smarter than members of JournoList.

    I was [this close] to doing that, but then I talked to some folks who told me it was almost certain that I would then need reading glasses following the surgery.

    Arg.

    As noted upthread, you can have one eye left slightly weaker, and you will be able to read just fine. Eventually, though, you’ll need reading glasses anyway. I had all the tests and decided that I’m going for the full distance vision. I don’t need to see 20/20 up close; the font that requires such is terribly terribly tiny, anyway, and doesn’t appear as such frequently in nature.

    eastern mass is a tuff place to get a scorally ship

    See, I never even saw this.

    Now you’re not even trying.

    For safety’s sake, don rubber gloves and a mask before retrieving scorally ship.
