The Atlantic’s Gain Is The NYT’s Loss
ABOVE: The Sacred Heart of Douthat
By now, you’ve no doubt heard that the replacement for Bill “Emperor Palpatine” Kristol at the New York Times is the 12-year-old blunderkind Ross “Every Sperm is Sacred” Douthat (rhymes with “Cow Butt”). So we can expect to hear a good deal of whining on the editorial page about embryos, stem cells, abortion and other Vatican talking points. Think K-Lo, minus 200 pounds, plus a face-mullet.
To let you get more acquainted with Ross, here are a few shorters (some inspired by Roy):
- I really liked the Harry Potter books until I learned that Dumbledore is GAY.
- Hey, here’s a really cool way to get rid of gay babies without having to abort them.
- It’s unfair for liberals to point out the G.K. Chesterton, a devout Catholic conservative man, was an anti-Semite because liberals, when you get down to it, spend all their time “making apologies for terror and mass murder.”
- The fact that women I am with have a hard time achieving orgasm is a feature, not a bug.
- Even though freezing embryos rather than using them for stem cell research is an “empty gesture,” that is still the reason why I am opposed to stem cell research.
- I used to think Jennifer Aniston was hot until I saw a trailer for a movie in which she played a character that got her hoo-hah waxed.
- “At the moment, I’m probably rooting harder for Sarah Palin to succeed than I have for any politician in recent memory. Just something to keep in mind while you’re reading my commentary.”*
*Not really a shorter, but an actual entire post by Douthat on his blog.

Oh, good. Another reason to write “FOAD” on the Atlantic’s constantly and persistently whiny return coupons, begging me to come back and be a subscriber. I keep writing “Fire Megan McArdle’s worthless ass and I’ll re-up for two years,” but they never do it and they keep sending me the begging letters.
Pa-fuckin-THETIC.

Why the NYT feels it has to “balance” its op-ed pages is a mystery. But why they manage to pick people who are complete asshats to represent the conservative side is either a mystery or one of the greatest liberal plots ever launched.
Thank about it: Your mission is to completely discredit the conservative movement. You can either try to snark them to death, or just let them speak for themselves in the most public manner. Kristol managed to demolish whatever smidgen of reputation he had (thus landing him a gig at WaPo). And now Douthat steps up to the plate.

Shorter Ross Douthat in general: The Republican party should do more to address inequality…by shouting at poor people to stop being such filthy whores!
That said, any columnist who endorses free-sprawling natural bush can’t be all that bad…

Sonuvadisemvowelledgoat, I commented on teh wrnog threedle. Anywho, here it is again:
Ross – you now have the same opportunity that B.M. Matt had. You would be a fool (or a Frenchman) to turn it down. Let me tell you right now, if you don’t take your chance to personally spit in Megan McArdle’s face before you leave the office for the last time – you will regret it. It don’t matter that you’re a conservative – ME-gan’s contempt of not ME-gan can encompass multitudes.

What’s going on with a newspaper that’s struggling financially, and decides “let’s make it shittier and try to drive away our core audience”? Conservatives reflexively hate you regardless, and lefties think you suck because you do. Lose-fucking-lose.

Exactly. Conservatism is in ruins, the economy is collapsing into a second great depression, a wildly popular new president indicates a once-every-40-years realignment, Americans are turning away from religion in record numbers, progressivism is on the rise (led by a bumper crop of sharp writers in the blog-o-sphere who have already demonstrated an ability to build and hold an audience), your paper is hemorraging readers and influence…I know! Let’s hire a young moralizing scold! Problem solved, executive bonuses all around!

That’s some nasty talk about Aniston from Douthat. Did he consider the fact that back when he was geting a hard-on over her “adorable curves and baby fat to spare” she was in her early 20’s, and is now around 40? As people age, there are two ways to go — add muscle and tone, or let it all flab out.
Considering Douthat’s not-so-adorable curves and baby fat, I think we know which path he will take.

If Limbaugh were to disappear tomorrow – which, by the way, he is not going to do – most conservatives would still put upper-income tax cuts at the top of their agenda. It’s not as though they believe what they believe because Limbaugh told them to.

Speaking of Jennifer Aniston,
I seem to recall that Rachel Green wasn’t exactly all adorable curves and whatnot – more like a size two, or zero. And all that plastic surgery? Well, it’s just Jen saying so – so she may well be lying, but:
So, yeah. Jennifer Aniston – truly the reason for the falling morality of today’s under-30 crowd, and why the Islamofascist hordes with their loose sexual mores are going to TAKE OVER TEH WORLD.

At least the Times was in the enviable position of replacing Bill Kristol, a situation which makes it physically impossible to downgrade. If they had announced that they discovered Hitler’s scrotum preserved in a jar of formaldehyde in some dark corner of Stalin’s old basement, and managed to hook it up to a Word processor via some sort of bluetooth technology, I think we would all still have nodded, frowned thoughtfully and grumbled “hmf, lateral move I guess.”

Don’t give them any ideas…
“Count me as another one perplexed by the seeming complete inability of the powers that be to understand that the conservatism they have embraced so lovingly has been utterly discredited. What’s it gonna take to penetrate these people’s comfy little bubble of privileged delusion?!”
Back in his pre-insanity days, Christopher Hitchens used to write about this issue from time to time in his Nation column. He said – back then, anyway, God only knows what his opinion on the matter is now – that there was a definite ideological motive behind all the reactionaries being given so much face time on the tv blab fests. The fuckers staffing the shows wanted the views they favored to be promoted above all else, the so-called “market” really having very little to do with who got invited on tv for premium exposure…
Of course, he was talking about television specifically, but I daresay his points could be equally applied to the supposedly “liberal” New York Times.

I would not be surprised if it were so. Isn’t it heartening that, in the face of all this reactionary-pimping, their ideas still aren’t all that popular? More so than they should be, yes, but not overwhelmingly so.

This. Bill Kristol is so hilariously awful and wrong, it’s almost as if he’s putting on a performance art piece the entire time. Even in his most mundane, bullshit boilerplate moments, he’ll whip out some whopper that you just can’t resist. The Times had to reform their corrections process because of all the Kristol mistakes that kept showing up in their first-run issues. Classic.
Douthat? Think-of-the-children scolding with a focus on abortion. It’s 2009, folks.

Are we the ones who are scared?
Or are the scared ones those who won’t face the facts on Third World (particularly Muslim) immigration for fear of offensing their liberal sensibilities and coming to grips with the fact that all cultures are not indeed equal?
I’d say the latter are the true “bedwetters”.

http://rossdouthat.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/06/the_future_of_homosexuality_ag.php
To which one of his commenters responds:
And with luck maybe they’ll also find in in utero treatment for homophobia! That way, socially liberal and conservative parents won’t feel a need to alter their children’s sexual orientation. And oh – plenty of gay men and women give their parents grandchildren, sometime naturally and sometimes via adoption. (You remember adoption, right? It’s how Joseph became the father of Jesus.)
No wonder Douthat disabled the commenting function on his blog. I can’t wait to see if the Times allows him to do the same thing.

Then, they’ll acuse you of “being afraid of the truth” in some way because you don’t agree with their fundamental axiom that Group X is Always Bad.

if Catholicism causes pedophilia among the clergy
My take on this:
The whole love the sinner, hate the sin, you can “be” gay but don’t “do” anything gay, i. e., live a celibate life, leads many who have been thoroughly indoctrinated into Catholicism to believe/assume that their homosexuality is an indication from Gawd that they should be priests, since they have to be celibate anyway.
Then who knows what happens in the seminary, & Bingo!! Sexual abuse.
No, I’m not conflating/confusing gayness w/ molesting teen-agers. It would be interesting to know what exactly the hell goes on in the seminaries, I suspect that’s where most of the trouble starts.

You should be aware that NYT comments (unlike WaPo, for example) are heavily moderated.
For example, I recently tried to comment on a typically disingenuous Thomas Friedman column on the economic crisis. I ever-so-politely pointed out that Mr Friedman (or as Stephen Colbert recently referred to him, “a talking walrus”) was a shining example for the American working class as he made his money the old-fashioned way — by marrying an heiress.
For some reason, NYT.com did not see fit to publish my comment.

Interesting choice of words, that interesting. I have known more than a few seminarians. Had a seminarian housemate in college for a while.

He eventually moved back into the seminary mostly because he could get laid there pretty much any time.

Almost everytime some one complains about “political correctness” in any form or fashion, they’ll soon be defending some totally racist/tribalist/xenophobic/classist/and generally sexist douchebag.
I’ve noticed that those who boast of being politically incorrect have this way of bitching about how they can’t call a spade an uppity nigger without someone calling them racist.

And GK wasn’t an anti-semite. He had his moments, but he didn’t hate the Jews, he just wanted them to have their own country.
So they could get the hell out of his?
In 1912 Chesterton’s brother Cecil lost a libel case to Jewish businessman Godfrey Isaacs over the Marconi scandal, and Mr Gopnik said that this, and Cecil’s death in the First World War, poisoned his brother’s views. “Chesterton’s hatreds became ugly and obsessive… From then on, however, Chesterton hammers relentlessly at the idea that there is ‘a Jewish problem’, the problem being that Jews are foreigners, innately alien to the nations into which they’ve insinuated themselves.
“It’s a deeply racial, not merely religious, bigotry; it’s not the Jews’ cupidity or their class role – it’s them. In his autobiography, Chesterton tries to defend himself by explaining what it is that makes people naturally mistrust Jews. All schoolboys recognise Jews as Jews, he says, and when they did so ‘what they saw was not Semites or schismatics or capitalists or revolutionists, but foreigners, only foreigners who were not called foreigners.’ ”
Chesterton condemned Nazi persecution, the author admitted, but in the context of the inter-war period “his jocose stuff is even more sinister than his serious stuff. He claims that he can tolerate Jews in England, but only if they are compelled to wear ‘Arab’ clothing, to show that they are an alien nation. Hitler made a simpler demand for Jewish dress, but the idea was the same.
“The trouble for those of us who love Chesterton’s writing is that the anti-Semitism is not incidental: it rises from the logic of his poetic position. The anti-Semitism is easy to excise from his arguments when it’s explicit. It’s harder to excise the spirit that leads to it – the suspicion of the alien, the extreme localism, the favouring of national instinct over rational argument, the distaste for ‘parasitic’ middlemen, and the preference for the simple organ-grinding music of the folk.
“He dreamed of an anti-capitalist agricultural state overseen by the Catholic Church and governed by a military for whom medieval ideas of honour still resonated, a place where Jews would not be persecuted or killed, certainly, but hived off and always marked as foreigners… his ideal order was ascendant over the whole Iberian Peninsula for half a century. And a bleak place it was, too.”

Douthaat had no idea what it’s like to be female (sepecially an actress) in this day and age, does he?
Jennifer Aniston isn’t a bad icon for this shift: When she started out on Friends, she was fetchingly adorable, with curves and baby fat to spare. Fifteen years later, she’s exercised, smoked and plastic surgerized herself into a weird, porn-like parody of a beautiful women – skinny, over-tanned, and all angles except for her still-pneumatic breasts. The waxing is just a small part of the pantomime, a final insult to the “natural” body she gave up on long ago.
Of course, Douthat will still be given a forum to write his dreck even when his man-boobs are hanging down so far they’re meeting his beer-gut, but I suppose that’s just par for the course for simpering little assholes like him.

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time commenter. I must say that I really love this blog.
I especially enjoy the humor here, how you call out the hypocrisy on the right and still add humor into it. The conservatives have had their eight years and their time is up. I don’t think their rightwing socially conservative agenda is gonna fly in modern progressive America.
One thing we must always remember as progressives however, is that Islamic terrorism is a threat to our way of life. I know that the Bush Administration mishandled the war on terrorism in the wrong way using torture and all that, and his invasion of Iraq took our eye off the ball so to say. However, the war in Afghanistan is completely justified as it was Al Queda who attacked us on 9/11. I for one applaud President Obama’s decision to send 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan.
Islamic terrorism must be defeated, they are the exact opposite of what it means to be a progressive and are committed to keeping women and gays under the jackboot of oppression.

I mean talk about the dark ages. They attacked us on 9/11 because they can’t stand our modern progressive way of life. The only way for this evil to be stopped is through direct military action. This kind of reactionary barbarism has no place in our progressive 21st century.

½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup mild molasses
1 lightly beaten egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 troll
Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter with brown sugar until smooth; stir in vanilla. Kill troll.
Beat in the egg and molasses. Sift flour with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Check to be sure troll is really dead.
Gradually stir into wet ingredients. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes while stomping on troll’s corpse with golf cleats.
On a floured surface, roll dough out to ¼” thickness. Cut into trolls with troll-shaped cookie cutters and place onto aluminum foil-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes and transfer to cooling racks. Cremate dead troll.

Hey “Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole” according to J.Richman.
You’re pretending that your urination is pivotal. That’s right the key wee.
It’s a fair cop, guvnor

…outbreaks of large-flightless-bird-related punning.
You mean avian non-flew epidemics? Get rhea – flightless bird punning is so difficult, I don’t think we can come up with any moa.

Doughhat? Is that like an asshat, it would make sense since he sounds like one. I sure hope a doughhat is not some creepy cross between Doughy Goldberg and an asshat because the amount of mind bleach necessary to rid myself of that image probably has negative side affects.

To get some grist for Douthat’s ‘pro-life’ pieces, Google “aborticentrism.”

I’m going to come to the defense of the use of the term “douchebag”, and for the following reason: any reliable book on sex is going to tell you that women shouldn’t douche, and if they feel they need to, they probably have some kind of infection and need to see the gynecologist. A douchebag is therefore an item that is both sexist (because the only people who like them are people who don’t like pussy to begin with) and useless.
“Cobag” works too though…
