The Douthat Speaks

Shorter Ross Douthat:

“HAHA YOUR TURN NOW! SUCK IT!”

(via Balloon Juice)

This piece by NY Times columnist Ross Douthat should be bookmarked and saved for later reference when we've gone down the road a bit furhter. If anything this piece should be teleported back to early 2001 and written for Bush and the Gang. Jesus. If anyone seemed overly confident of their ability to govern it was the 2001 GOP. Talk about people who were absolutely certain about EVERYTHING ... rule of law ... conservatism ... permanent majority ... humble foreign policy ... then ... ... ... 9/11. It changed everything right? In my estimation it became the permanent excuse for conservative and GOP fail. With the GOP in full on neocon pearl clutching over Obama's response to the Iranian election, and Christianists whining about how they are oppressed, I think most liberals, Democrats--or whatever the latest tag is for those of us who are not one of right--are perfectly happy grabbing the steering wheel and driving for awhile.

I Wake Up Every Morning Wondering Who is Going to Bring the Stupid Today

Oh, those poor wingnuts. Gosh with that crazy liberal Greg Sargent leaving TPM to go work for a new blog project at WaPO we have these gems from some of our faves:

Eric the Red Stater:

I’m sure Greg Sargent is good at what he does, but I’m also sure the Washington Post would not even consider hiring someone directly from the right-of-center blogosphere.

T.O.P. (The Other Pantload aka Michael Goldfarb):

Sargent pretty much carried TPM over the last year, and it’s not clear to me how that site survives in its current configuration during a Democratic administration (which they have no interest in investigating) and without their best reporter.

Boo fucking hoo … just how pathetic will these guys get over the next few years? I can hardly wait to find out. Awesome. The opposition is filled with 14 donut eating pantloads who spend most of the day trying to find their dicks. (Hey dipshit! Eat a fucking salad and go for a jog once in a while and it might reappear.)
