In the end, Krauthammer’s deficit is not a matter of body, but of judgment.
Do you even know what malingerer means? I mean, I’m sorry about your impediment, but stop.
The first time, I thought it was a matter of callow fucktardy, but now I see that you’re a devoted disciple of imbecility.
Everyone knows quads have shit judgment, Dan. That’s why they can’t get drivers licenses.
Dan you said it so well Eine Kleine Arsemusik, and the beat goes on!
“I’m sorry if I made some unintended targets uncomfortable (heaven forfend!) but I was RIGHT. Deal with it.”
Breaking: Pot calls refrigerator black.
Hmmm, which one is Klein and which one Krauthammer?
So, let me get this straight, your handicap isn’t a handicap, unless you’re handicapped by your extreme views.
Which, I think, is a new kind of disability, the Handicap of Extreme Views.
Does this mean I can get one of those cool blue placards for my car so I can park in the front row?
I think the leavening effects Klein is referring to must amount to going to Iraq, eating their food and getting gas or a bad case of the runs. I’m sure Krauthammer can think through the problems facing US foreign policy quite well without any of that.
Did someone say LIMBIC BRAIN
Joe Klein’s piece of shit cocksucker president thinks disabled Special Olympics people are fucking hilarious and is a lot blinkered by ideology and debilitated by extreme views and before his dipshit ass got elected he’d hardly been anywhere what wasn’t a corrupt dirty socialist urban mediamarket, unless you count his trip to Pawkeestahn and the time he went to Africa to try and find that daddy figure what never wanted nothing to do with him.
Klein is a libtard ergo, he is always correct. Liberals would rather take a bullet to the brain than to acknowledge what fucked-up failures they are. Joe Klein couldn’t carry Krauthammers lunch for him. So instead of debating the merits of what Krauthammer says, Klein casts reference to Krauthammers disability and just claims he’s wrong without refuting a work Krauthammer says. Look at Klein, he has the requisite libtard-I-have-something-to-hide-beard. He’s garbage in other words.
Perhaps Klein uses the term “malingering” because the neocons hammering are not in wheelchairs themselves, and therefore have no standing.
Vaguely related, but any good news is… good news.
The Communist in Chief isn’t getting everything his own way. 96-0 in the Senate, baby. That’s gotta leave a mark on the giant ego.
Also Kalifornia Kommunist Waxy’s “cap and trade” bill looks to be shaping up as an EPIC FAIL, assuming it makes it to the floor.
The problem with
journalistsliberals like Joe Klein is that they believe all of their own bullshit. Obama is the Messiah, Republicans are dead as a party, classical liberalism is dead as a philosophy, and we’re all just ready for a heaping dose of Hope and Changey corporatism/socialism.Unfortunately in the real world, deep blue Californians just told their legislature to go pound sand and voted against ALL of the legislature and Ah-nold’s proposals (EXCEPT for the one that forbid the legislature from giving themselves a raise while the state had a budget deficit, touche!), Republican candidates for Governor are well ahead of their Democratic opponents in races in deep blue New Jersey and newly blue-ish Virginia, Harry Reid is about to lose re-election (http://www.lvrj.com/news/45387987.html), Nancy Pelosi continues to verbally waterboard herself, and magazines like the ones Klein writes for are rapidly losing relevance and going out of business (Hi Time and Newsweek!)
If our dipshit President weren’t so close to bankrupting my country, I’d say otherwise it’s been a pretty good week.
because the neocons hammering are not in wheelchairs themselves, and therefore have no standing.
You don’t have a functioning neocortex.
Doesn’t stop you from yammering.
Really, cynn? Is Klein in a wheelchair? That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard you say.
(Applause.)
This is hysterical: “Advocates of gun rights are poised to win a Congressional victory that eluded them under a Republican president. To the frustration and discouragement of many Democrats, House and Senate lawmakers and aides say it now appears likely that President Obama will this week sign into law a provision allowing visitors to national parks and refuges to carry loaded and concealed weapons.”
The NY Times latte liberal crowd comments section is priceless:
http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2009/05/20/us/politics/20cong.html
Klein is a world class asshat, and if Time had a shred of intelletual honesty and actual pronciple (traits they would posess only in a bizarro sci-fi alternate universe), he would be summarily discharged and an apology rendered post-haste; instead of the poo flinging temper tantrum that was linked to…
And the entirety of the hand-wringing, pain-feeling, lefties call the Rethuglicans eeeeeevil, insensitive, and uncaring…
I guess PC speak rules don’t apply to what passes for the liberal intelligensia; nor to the simply densia either…
I was going to read Joe Klein’s response, but then I saw that it was only the usual neoconservatives who were raising a stink and realized that I could safely discount what they had to say.
” Really, cynn? Is Klein in a wheelchair? That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard you say.”
That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard ANYONE say. I think she was just trying to top Klein as an academic exercise.
Hey, Bob! I haven’t noticed you around here much lately.
How’s the book coming along?
Uh , Cynn, If they’re not in a wheelchair, then it stands to reason they have standing. Geesh…
#17: that’s funny as hell, Phil. I suspect that most of them have never been off of pavement in their lives.
I wouldn’t want to go camping in, say, Denali National Park without a rifle.
Joe,
I appreciate having you around. Thanks for your links.
Rush said a couple of weeks ago something along the lines of “if I had to have anyone’s brain but my own, Charles Krauthammer….” and somebody else is who Rush would like to be for a day.
That must have made Dr. K feel kinda special, considering who said it; or, hell- anyone saying it in earnest about you.
So Klein now must attack.
It’s war after all, and of course.
Hell, Phineas Finn coulda told ya that many moons ago.
I didn’t respond on this before b/c I basically thought it a small and typically thoughtless thing – but now he’s a confirmed asshole in my book.
Utterly off-topic, but, I just gotta ask the smarter-than-me people here:
I was just on another blog where one commenter thought it was perfectly ok for the protesters at Notre Dame to be arrested because they were practicing “freedom of expression” which is different from “freedom of speech” and therefore not protected under the Constitution. Now this isn’t what I was taught decades ago, so I’m wondering; did I miss something?
They’re morons, Nan.
SBP #23,
Yes, it’s ironic that for all the prog talk about “saving the environment”, I’d venture to say that at least half of them never stray far from their urban oases into an actual national park. That’s where dem scary rural folk live, and they do weird shit like drive pick up trucks. And hunt! Savages.
Nan, it’s just cognitive dissonance on their part. They’re defending something they would have decried if it were BOOOOSH who was speaking. Now they cheer-lead for it. ‘Cause those folks were disagreeing with Teh One!
Thanks, Mr. Collins. That was pretty much my opinion too, but thought I’d better check: I might have lost a few synapses over the years.
I like the characterization in the NYT article of concealed-carry people as wanting to carry into a national park SO THAT they can shoot something. Anything.
And how aghast they are that the credit card bill has something totally unrelated attached. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN HISTORY!
The characterization in the comments, that is.
Dan: I’m just trying to figure out the faking a disorder gambit. You can’t argue with Klein’s premise because you are assuming the position of a man in a wheelchair, which you’re not. Therefore, you are as bad an imposter as the Crackhammer. Something like that.
cynn: that made even less sense than your first post, which I would have bet was impossible.
And I despise Crackhammer, but I think Klein is overly sensitive here.
Oh, it makes sense, but it’s nothing that I would accuse anyone even as imbecilic as Joe Klein of intending.
Klein is a dirty socialist propagandouche what writes for TIME magazine which was an influential newsmagazine when my parents were in college, cynn.
Cynn. he said what he meant. Quit trying to speak for him. You both need to review the first rule of holes. Klien is a shitweasel. He can’t debate Krauthammer on the validity of his views so he denigrates him. Much like you did when you referred to him as Crackhammer. Which tells me he threatens your supositions. Perhaps instead of fearing what Kraughthammer has to say you should review your motivess.
I could go for putting Joe Klein in a wheelchair, just to compare his ability to overcome the handicap with a tenth of the skill and grace Krauthammer has shown.
These people make my gorge bouyant.
But get what I took away, which is astounding to me, a lefty: Joe Klein dismisses critics of his critique of a man in a wheelchair because they are in fact not in wheelchairs. And, they are “malingering” because they aren’t in wheelchairs, therefore assuming some rhetorical position they aren’t entitled to? Did I read this correctly? Because as much as I despise Kraphammer, Joe Klein is one crazy cat.
Rusty: OK, Joe Klein eats paste. He’s not pulling anything here.
Good Lord – Dan, I think you are right. Too much hydraulic fluid subsituting for the MD 20/20 for cynn. I’m sitting here wondering if she has had a stroke and is still typing instead of seeking medical help.
Go to the ER cynn! Get help now!
You don’t get it. Fair enough.
I’m afraid even to look at this thread, now.
cynn,
Yes, we get it. You have been absolutely nonsensical. Or is it really you who are the clever and sane one and Dan, myself, Rusty, SBP, Dr. Lombardi, et al are just dense and cannot appreciate your genius.
Go sleep it off.
Oh, and cynn?
More bad news. Taxes on alky going up.
No mention of Sterno, though, so perhaps you’re okay for now.
LTC John: Can you not even comprehend what I have said? Why do I feel like I am bouncing off a wall? Go back, read what I’ve said. If there are internal inconsistencies let me know. Otherwise, do what Joe Klein has apparently done, and blow off your critics.
Cynn. You’ve misunderstood. It’s not that what you said wasnot understood, it’s that it bears little relationship to the discussion.
SPB: For you, the issue is nitro, so I guess you dodged the proverbial bullet on that one.
RTO Trainer: I thought the relevant topic was Joe Klein’s defense of his attack on Kraphammer. If I was mistaken, please correct.
“dodging the bullet” isn’t a proverb really it’s just a figure of speech like “stupid cripple” or “snotty Rethuglican quadriplegic”
Thanks for the culture lesson, everyone! See you at the social!!
Fuck Joe Klein. But not with anything organic. Oh, and Cynn’s first comment contained what appeared to be such a deft and subtle bit of ironic wordplay that it’s really a pity no one has appreciated it, even if it probably was an accident.
That’s the downside of a damaged brand, I guess.
It wasn’t an accident. And seriously, you guys ought to pay strict attention to the language that’s flying back and forth. It carries more weight each time it’s tossed around.

That there is some good intentionalism, there. No ,cynn, not paste. Joe klien is an arrogant, bigoted, elitist ass and he needs you to go around to the blogs and explain to people exactly what he means when he types exactly what he means. He made fun of a crippled guy and then he he made a long winded non apology making fun of the people who complained. Duh.
Rusty, good on ya for trying. But I don’t think cynn is going to see the supernova intensity of the dumb, trying on this blog of all places to tell us what Klein really meant. Somewhere Jeff weeps. Or laughs. I hope it is the laugh one myself.
What combat unit was Klein embedded with in Operation IF, again?
The Fifth NYC Bar Weasels.
Best known for liberating a jar of olives from a corner grocery store.
doesn’t that fucking bong smoking cunt realise krauthammer is really paralyzed
