“In an email to publius, he asked, “Now who’s the hitman”?”

I don’t even get this. Isn’t the obvious answer, “still you, douchelicker?”

I mean, it doesn’t even make sense.

I can’t help but note that for all of Whelan’s ire at anonymity, he does not name the person who told him who publius was. Using an anonymous source to out a pseudononymous blogger.

Good point Arky, but now gocart mozart has inspired me.

Troofy + Castro oil = nationalized shit = filling for shitmoats = profit!

…The fact that Volokh’s post did not embarrass me is amply attested by my promptly linking to, and praising, Volokh’s “characteristically thoughtful critique.” The fact that I saw no reason to be embarrassed by his post is amply explained by the closing paragraphs of my post exposing publius.

…what IS that sucking noise????

Good thing you didn’t put Castro oil on his ass Arky or you would have nationalized his shit.

To be fair DrDick, you did put quite a large amount of castor oil in his food just for shits and giggles didn’t you?

With castor oil you get a lot of the former but not many of the latter.

The left hates democracy because conservatives love it. That’s why I needed the CIA to overthrow my elected prime minister.

Sorry, I’ve got SAVAK on line two…

I did it once and found they’re impossible to potty train.

Boy do I know about that! Happened to me with Troofy. Little fucker shit all over everything. Had to take him to the ASPCA. This one looks like it has even less sphincter control.

“bayville” at TBogg’s pointed out this Dan Riehl condemnation.

That a writer at a site like NRO would stoop to outing an anonymous liberal blogger is, hopefully, far more a discredit to Whelan and NRO, than it is trouble for said blogger. Were it up to me, Whelan would be gone as an NRO blogger. I think it somewhat revealing when so called professionals start looking like the children out here, as opposed to the more traditional amateur bloggers. It’s likely one reason why many started blogging and reading blogs back before so many alleged professionals decided they had to catch the wave.

When big douchebags call you on your douchebaggery, you know you’re a very big douchebag.

“Martin E. Whelan” is his ~~given~~ stripper name, “M. Edward Whelan III” is the name he uses ~~to feel fancy~~ during drag performances, and “Ed Whelan” is his down-home folksy name. A name for all situations. Fiqqsd.

“In that capacity, he advised the White House [...] on difficult and sensitive legal questions.”

And the Bush administration is so well-known for its strict adherence to the spirit as well as the letter of the law, never twisting it to their own purposes or ignoring it entirely to do the blatantly, outrageously illegal and unconstitutional when expedient, and NEVER relying on amoral douchebag lawyers for ostensible coverage of those acts.

I wonder why Whelan blogs as “Ed Whelan,” but his professional bio gives his name as “M. Edward Whelan, III,” while the District of Columbia Bar Assn lists him as “Martin E. Whelan, III.”

Isn’t it cute when the [insert name of troll, wingnut, Gov. of Alaska etc.] tries to argue [insert any topic]? Its like getting fashion advice from a circus clown. “One should never wear big red floppy shoes after labor day!” “Your rubber nose should always match your belt buckle!”

Ohhhh, he’s just grumpy cause the feminazis never invite him to watch their wild lesbian orgies. He has to go to those lame-ass boring orgies, where the women just lay there, making stupid half-interested noises and thinking up ways to spend their husbands’ money, and there’s no lavender-scented KY jelly on tap.

Ever see an eight-ended vibrating dildo in action, buddy boy? Yeah, I thought not.

Oh, and for you, Eddy

He just pulls his decisions out of his ass. (see DC handgun ban.)

He pulled a handgun out of his ass in DC? I didn’t realize he has a concealed carry permit.
