In her latest Weekly Standard piece, “Irresolution,” Noemie Emery discusses the political and rhetorical repercussions of the Senate’s bi-partisan (though heavily-Democratic) move to pass a non-binding resolution criticizing the President’s surge plan, a revolting bit of political theater that would have had the practical effect of providing the military with a vote of no confidence—while simultaneously demoralizing Iraqis committed to a democratic republic and providing the separatists and terrorists inside

Knowing when to quit Heh.  Maybe you can change your name to . . .  I dunno . . . Jamil Hussein. Any of you interested in helping me found justgetthefuckoveritalready.org, please email.

Jeff and Pablo and Dan Riehl and I are all mad at Amanda Marcotte because we’re all seething with jealousy that we’ll never, ever in our entire lives have as important a blogpost as Amanda.  O! it cuts to the quick!  A hit, a palpable hit! But now it turns out that Michelle Malkin has been visited by “the green-eyed monster that mocks the meat it feeds on”–wait, that’s jealousy,
