We’re Doomed

Via Matthew Yglesias, we find this deeply disturbing post from Seb’s best bud David Frum about Bush’s latest Supreme Court pick, Harriet Miers: In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her…

Personally, I think Warner Todd Huston is WAY hot!

Oh, BTW, Lucy-your post up toward the top was faboo! I particularly liked this bit: Bush would have been borne off triumphant by God's own magical dolphins[...] A-heh-heh-heh!

“He *is* after all, one of the Hottest Young Conservatives on the Web (sorry, Yosef)…”

Careful there. Judson Cox is my arch-nemesis.

What loving, Christian people Mrs. Biscuitbarrel has described to us.

I’ll tell you what these people are like in person. The other day, I was shopping at a big-box store (not Wal-Mart, of course) in a presumably Blue State suburb and went to use the ladies’ room. There a woman was changing her infant daughter’s diaper. The baby smiled at me (an unwise move, undoubtedly), and I stopped to admire her.

“You have a lovely baby,” I said to the mother.

She glanced at me, and said nothing.

I repeated, “You have a lovely baby.”

The woman looked at an older woman, whom I took to be her mother, and hissed, “She’s not saved.”

Only then I noticed that mother and daughter were wearing big honking crosses around their necks; I wear a Star of David, which was hanging outside my dress at the time. The grandmother moved the shopping cart containing two toddlers away from me–before I could suck out their blood and use it to make matzah, she must have thought.

A shopping trip ruined.

Psst, hey! Open thread above = very boring. Yosef and Amber Pawlik are arguing about Seb’s ‘dpo’ like they always do every single time.

Just passing through.

This woman read too much of this crap when she was a kid, hunh?

My god! That facial hair would have been considered comical in 1855. Dickensian heroes with huge muttonchops would laugh at him openly on the streets.

You know, I can’t actually come up with something more wingnutty than LITERALLY claiming Bush has a direct line to god and fantasizing about rising up and dying gloriously in the fight against Heathen Liberals, with a cry of “Dubya Ackbar and Save Terri!”

Do these people live in an alternate universe or something?

To be fair, Bill S., I would probably get ill if I saw Debbie’s breast, too. Why must you fill my head with all these grotesque images??

Jim, you have a much, much stronger libido/stomach than I.

I hate to be picky but contrary to Debbie’s comment, I don’t think any blood was actually shed at Valley Forge. It was Washington’s Winter HQs and they suffered through an AWFUL few months there, but it wasn’t a battle. But then, that’d require Debbie to actually know the history of the country she claims to worship beyond a 3d grade level.

Ooh, I just loooooove it when the wingnuts go on about homosexuality being “impossible to pass on as a hereditary trait” when they don’t even believe in evolution in the first place. Guys like Judson Cox invariably believe that life was created by God six thousand years ago, and that “species” don’t exist, but “kinds” do.

“Cognitive dissonance” as a phrase just doesn’t do that level of schizophrenia justice. I don’t think there’s a phrase in English that does.

Ilike the simple beauty of her solution to immigration — kill all the people beyond our borders.

Yep. That’s do it.

Granted, S.Z. caught Debbie on an off day (she wrote about Jane Fonda, which is basically an admission that you’re mailing it in). However, she was up against both Kaye, Grogan and Pastor Swank, so even if she had brought her “A” game it still might not have been enough.

Jim, you’re beyond anyone’s power to help.

The second hottie is Selwyn Duke. He’s supposedly a “tennis professional.”

Yep, I’d still do Judson Cox if I saw him at a bathouse. He *is* after all, one of the Hottest Young Conservatives on the Web (sorry, Yosef) and he’s very much my type. When I’m on the prowl, I don’t have political litmus tests, just whip it out, keep your cake hole shut and let me get busy; my sex drive is very catholic, as it were. Now Justin Darr, I’d rather have my eyes poked out with a sharp stick.So who’s the hottie with his finger on his chin?

Hemlock Echo’s right. Debbie D clearly had to go at W ‘o C. Sure, this retrospective is quite wingnutty, but if ya did a similar one for Kaye or Pastor Swank, well, my God, the mind boggles. She might have had a fighting chance against Debbie Schlussel, but that’s debatable.
Still, I liked Debbie D’s debate commentary. The debate as Debbie D would have liked it: John Kerry-”Good point, Mr. President! What a fool I am for running against God’s own chosen candidate! May I spit-shine your shoes using my tie?”
Uncritical idolatry is never a sign of a towering intellect.

I think Kaye Grogan ghost-wrote the post-Schiavo piece. All the extranious grammar and conversational kookiness are there. It’s like a fingerprint.

In fairness, I think Debbie was the right elimination for the Wo’C contest. She is the low-rent wingnuts low-rent wingnut. I believe even ‘ole Kaye reads Debbie’s columns and sighs in disgust. She’s a one-trick pony with her “Bush the Redeamer” schtick. Sure, she uses it a lot and with as much hyperbole as one could imagine, but c’mon, interment camps? Yoga prayers? Ricky Martin?!? How is she supposed to compete with that?

Thank you, Brad. (Jim, if you got around to reading the column by Judson Cox, you’re probably now thinking, “How can a guy with a name that sounds so much like a gay porn star be so homophobic? Oh, I think I just answered my own question.”)
