And then there's Jonah Goldberg level stupid.


Apparently, being a wingnut welfare pundit means never having to say you're competent. Or something to that effect.

Good lord, that man's ignorance is planetary in scope. Maybe he should talk to Bush's wingnut Surgeon General about what sort of "sexual positions" we should be, and not be, in. As I recall, plumbing fixtures are involved...

Don't you just love "fwee speach?" An inveterate liar, serial defamer and a documented moron manages to become the focus of innumerable discussions (many, like the interview I saw in Salon yesterday, focused, serious and civil) which in turn, generate even more discussions involving said moron?

I'll drop my resistance to free speech absolutism the minute someone of stature and some credibility, in a very public forum (such as over the public airwaves) calls Jonah Goldberg what he is...an inveterate liar, serial defamer and a documented moron.

The jury is in on this, and with these degenerate neocons, we really do need to nail them for what they are and move on.

Kind of O/T, but I loved Wolcott's description of the NRO's collective reaaction to Frederick of Hollywood's performance in the GOP debate the other night: "a red throbbing Fred-on."

Back to the subject... What can you say about Jonah? The maddening part is that, in addition to everything you've said there about him, he simply doesn't care. Being accurate and telling the truth — Feh! That's just silly liberal pish posh. What, are you some kind of pedantic, nit-picky elitist?

But Jonah's got a point. It was pretty much only liberals objecting to the guy who died in a wetsuit with a dildo up his ass. If you google it, you'll find very few right-wing mentions of the incident -- why, I'd be quite surprised if there were any mentions of it on the BT aggregator at all!

To give him credit, he does care when you refer to his emergence from his mother's vagina; he'll call you classless.

Well...d'uh!
