More-On
James Poulos cranked a particularly stinky nugget into Tucker Carlson’s cat box Thursday, a column entitled “What Are Women For?” that was at once so offensive, pretentious, incoherent, clueless and just plain dumb that it attracted hoots of derision from every corner of the internet. Balloon Juice commenter Clark Stooksbury summed it up pithily as [...]

Oh, for Fuck’s Sake, Millbank
Twelve years of primary education at the hands of the Dominican sisterhood left me with a permanent tic against explicit vulgarity, but sometimes the truth can only be expressed rudely. Only an arsehole Media Village Idiot could have written “Barney the Bully“: ... The amiable [Savannah] Guthrie tried again. How does he feel about the [...]

Pat Robertson Thinks The Left Wants to Kill Babies to Turn Straight Women into Lesbians
Or something. I honestly don’t know what the crap this guy is talking about. It’s just batshit bananas. Something about unmarried women not wanting married women to have children because all single women are lesbians, or something? I don’t know, you tell me:

Open Thread
I was going to talk about this D-Day piece in which the #dickwhisperer gets a glimpse of the real world, but I looked outside this morning and really, SNOW AND ICE PELLETS? Make it stop.

Whatever You Do, Don’t Bore the Villagers
The Dick Whisperer: I miss George W. Bush. I don’t miss him in the sense that I wish he were still president. If he were, we might be at war with Iran and North Korea by now, and perhaps Portugal. Neither do I miss the endless debates over waterboarding and the Iraq war – bad [...]

Open Thread: Going There
Of course Dana Milbank quite literally has a book to sell, but I’m wondering how much of a hopeful sign it may be that the Premiere Village Insider is edging away from full-frontal embrace of the Twenty-Seven-Percenters: Conspiracy theorists find validation from Glenn Beck “I would’ve never started watching Fox News if it wasn’t for [...]

Bob Woodward as the Anti-Cassandra
Marc Ambinder, in the Atlantic, imagines (parodies) “Being Bob Woodward“: ... Ambinder recalled how Woodward, as he promoted his final book on the Bush administration, predicted on television that Dick Cheney might run for president in 2008, something that Ambinder knew the former vice president had never even contemplated. And here again, having just released [...]

End-Times Rhetoric Has Consequences – Who Knew?
Dana Milbank makes the connection between Glenn Beck’s crazy bullshit and crazy people with guns inspired by it. Beck has prophesied darkly to his millions of followers that we are reaching “a point where the people will have exhausted all their options. When that happens, look out.” One night on Fox, discussing the case of [...]

The Mexican Shark
Credit where it is due, as Dana Milbank dismembers Jan Brewer and John McCain: Last year gave us death panels and granny killings, but compared with the nonsense justifying the immigration crackdown, the health-care debate was an evening at the Oxford Union Society. Two months ago, the Arizona Republic published an exhaustive report that found [...]

They Can’t Go Under Fast Enough
The Washington Post actually printed this: You’d think someone who publicly fellated John McCain for a decade and a half before a rather embarrassing and revealing public break-up would know a thing or two about man crushes. I’m not going to even go into the false equivalencies later on in the article.
