Drop the "guest status

Indeed.

Maureen Dowd wrote a column yesterday

In which, according to Alex Pareene, she made a joke about Al Gore and "earth tones."

I won't link to it, but I think this line says it best:

Maureen Dowd is a Pulitzer-winning columnist.

Demand better blow jobs

Gail Collins expertly performs her role of making Maureen Dowd look insightful.

Ross Douthat's latest screenplay

Stolen from my comment to "Doghouse" Riley...cause that's how I roll.

Asshat:

This could be the real significance of last week’s invitation. What’s being interpreted, for now, as an intra-Christian skirmish may eventually be remembered as the first step toward a united Anglican-Catholic front — not against liberalism or atheism, but against Christianity’s most enduring and impressive foe.

Bwaahahaha

If the Anglicans can have female and teh gay bishops, the Islamoscaryfascists -- our implacable foe -- have won!

What a rich fantasy life. Kind of like Red Dawn meets...I dunno...the Bells of St. Mary's?

Go read Doghouse. He's funnier and smartier.

Exceptional, or just "special?"

Shorter William "the bloody" Kristol: "Enraged, anti-GOP voters will greet John McCain with sweets and flowers."

Greenwald helpfully reminds us why Kristol is on the OpEd page of the paper of record:

Rosenthal actually claimed when he hired Kristol that he did so to achieve "balance" and to create diversity on the Op-Ed page. Indeed. Last Monday, Kristol's column compared Americans who don't want to fight for Israel to Neville Chamberlain appeasers. Then, on Wednesday, Tom Friedman declared a "cold war" whereby Israel and the U.S. fight together (along with Sunni Arab dictators) against Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. Then, on Friday, David Brooks declared Obama suspect when it comes to hating Hezbollah enough, writing that Obama's statements bear "the whiff of what President Bush described yesterday as appeasement" and that "if Obama believes all this, he's not just a Jimmy Carter-style liberal. He's off in Noam Chomskyland." Obama then had to call Brooks, demonstrate his commitment to hating Hezbollah, and was cleared by Brooks (for now) of the charge of insufficient devotion to fighting Israel's enemies.
