Zachary Roth finds some good stuff in the US Attorney documents:
In a January 2007 email, White House political director Sara Taylor wrote:
Prior is going after Griffin. He’s made this his cause…. We need to find some folks to defend Tim and his credentials, not to mention our policy.
Your thoughts? Rich Lowry offered to help Tim
The best part? Taylor went on to ask: “Anyone better?”
I don’t know whether to laugh at Lowry or call for a blogger ethics panel.

Wooooooow.

I knew a conservative christian in Chapel Hill who, if you mentioned Rich Lowry, would lose his mind. “That fuckin’ piece of shit dumbass Rich Lowry motherfucker” etc etc. Never found out what caused that reaction. Same guy was having a real hard time with the Iraq war and Bush etc. This was a couple of years ago or three. David Brooks was guest appearing at Duke, and this guy saw him on UNC campus one day and cornered him and started blasting him about Bush, Iraq, etc. It was…interesting.

Sara Taylor. Jeepers. Never has anyone, not even Sarah Palin, gone quicker in my personal estimation from “photographs well” to “dumb ugly vicious asshole”.
I’m really not sure which is funnier. Lowry getting dissed by her, or Taylor thinking she’s any better than he is. Talk about competing ironies.

Rich Lowry is still masturbating to video of Sarah Palin.

DougJ quotes a quote of Sara Taylor:
Also too, like the Other Sarah, they’re all pathological liars. The whole point of their being Mayberry Machiavellis was that they Don’t Do Policy. Yet they pretend otherwise amonst themselves.

These little bombs that are coming out about the Attorney firings are really fascinating – there is just so much there. But never mind – we’re looking forward not backwards – keep on walking.

Ya gotta feel for Rich. He has star bursts for Palin, loves water boarding, hates the Clintons, but still get no Rethug love.

“Anyone better?”
Just randomly open a phone book to any page and point to a name. You’ll find someone better.

Unfortunately, this is not how Orly Taitz got started on the talk show circuit.

I don’t think Lowry is that neocon. I definitely sympathize with Christian conservatives about neocons.

Me, I’ll laugh.

Does Coulter belong on the womens’ team? Okay, that’s a cheap shot but how come no Megan McCain?

Poor Sarah, she was hoping for an intellectual big gun like Jonah Goldberg.
Between this and that scumbag John Solomon doing sleazy ass covering for Turdblossom on the attorney firings…liberal f*cking media…oy…

@mai naem: Well come on. They gotta have a manager don’t they? Doesn’t the manager always bring the beer?

“Prior is going after Griffin. He’s made this his cause….”
Just as an aside, ‘Prior’ is a typo. The person Sara Taylor is referring to is U.S. Senator Mark Pryor (BlueDog-AR).

@mai naem:
I agree. McCain could replace McArdle at pitcher, since McArdle says she voted for Obama, and is therefore a gliberterian RINO and doesn’t belong on the wingnut team.
McArdle’s more of a smugnut.

@JGabriel:
Actually, she didn’t vote AT ALL because she was too lazy to get off her ass and register in time. (that last part is interpreted from her statements, of course)
Her failure at her civic duty doesn’t prevent her from opposing the president at every turn, of course.

“smugnut.” Heh.

OT, but really, I would much rather see Pammy’s plastic breasts and third arm than the puppy with the meat fork in its head. It’s most traumatizing.
harlana pepper
@arguingwithsignposts: “forgot to register”?? This is all I need to know about this Megan McArdle person. What is she doing writing about politics when she can’t even be bothered to vote. The smart thing would be not to mention it all (I would be mortified to admit this to anyone, this having been such a crucial year) but she is apparently dumb as dirt.

update: I was told by the unemployment office I should be able to get an extension on my bennies, no thanks to Mark “Use Both Sides of the Post-it” Sanford.
SiubhanDuinne
That’s good news, Harlana Pepper. You must be relieved. I’m glad for you.
A friend in The Carolinas told me yesterday that some reporter had worked out that Sanford’s haircut worked out to be much more expensive than John Edwards’ infamous barbering. Made me chuckle. Mr. Fiscal Conservative.

@ harlana pepper
speaking of Sanford, it appears he ain’t out of the woods yet. Local papers indicate that there is a renewed call for impeachment with the newest revelations about improper use of state airplanes and commercial flight policies. so there is still hope the the most god awful useless governor of SC that I have seen in my 72 years of existence will get his just dues

@Persia:
Well said and my apologies for such narrow thinking.
