Millard Fillmore Millard Fallmore would fit in with the drinky-drinky angle.

Oh, come on folks! Ease up on Gary. He just got fired from his gig writing jokes for Millard Fillmore because he wasn’t being funny enough. Man, that’s gotta be HARD!

So, be nice, and laugh WITH him, not AT him. Give him the confidence he needs to try out for that gag-writing job at Prickly City.

“Liberal Mandarins”? I guess this is a way to make us all Chinese, or something?

Shorter Gary: “I would come up with a scathing, insightful put-down of all you libs, but I can’t think of one right now because, well, erm, I’m a witless dumbass. So please apply your own well-written put-downs to yourself. Victory is mine!!1!”

(Does it even matter if it’s real or fake Gary any more? He’s become like kind of a glyph or cypher for “proto-fascist retard”.)

Scathing rebuttal, Mr. Ruppert. Not since the debate over Caesar’s body, or the Lincoln-Douglas debates, or even the very pages of the classic American literary work, “To Kill a Mockingbird” has then been an oratory so great, so profound, so simply unconventional and mold-breaking that it defies all comprehension of lower men. And/or schoolchildren who have not yet mastered the “Rubber v Glue” theorem.

Also, I have heard word that your biological mother is so morbidly obese that she encompass your dwelling when she is relaxing and enjoying restful leisure time. Stupid head.

Conservatives have no real consistent or logical ideology, no way of really inspiring people with authentic heartfelt speeches, no policy successes, nothing that you or I or any other honest, decent person would embrace or find passion for.

So they need their double standards, their inconsistencies, their logical fallacies, their lame rationalizations, their vague and repetitive sophistries, their wedge issues and their insipid triumphalism.

Without them, they have nothing.

Actually, all that applies to liberals.

“what exactly was “high-tech” about Anita Hill saying, “hey, this guy is a real asshole”?”

Because it was conducted via the media instead of the traditional rope and tree.

Help, I’m being oppressed by affirmative action!

OK, not exactly affirmative action, but people saying that affirmative action is working. Which makes me look bad. Or something.

Liberal Mandarin.

Well, duh!

Only an evil liberal would want to pick a fight with Iron Man, who is secretly the hyper-capitalist financier/inventor/businessman/playboy Tony Stark.

Leaving aside the obvious rationale for using the word “lynching,” what exactly was “high-tech” about Anita Hill saying, “hey, this guy is a real asshole”?

Hoosier, the frustrating part about this is that these nutjobs is that, they cheer on for “victory”, yet seem completely unaware that for that to even begin to take hold, the “bad things” need to STOP happening.

It’s like, if you take your car in for an oil change an an emissions inspection, and when you get it back, the windshield is smashed, the driver’s seat is missing, and there’s a dead possum in the trunk, and the mechanic is like, “yeah, well, you have to expect these things to happen, sometimes.”

As a weird foreigner with a peculiar love for America, I don’t think you give enough attention to Louis Brandeis. There was a time when the Supreme Court wasn’t a cynical exercise in justificatory wingnutism.

Perhaps I’m naive and don’t understand your situation, but that guy seems like precisely the man you need at a time like this.

Hey, are you guys gonna say anything about this travesty of an opinion piece by Max Boot where he defends Blackwater? Part of his argument is that bad things happen in war. Because, like, he apparently thinks that all the consarned extremist leftists who are against the war have previously missed the hundreds of times this argument was used by conservative commentators trying to find cover in the wake of thier disastrous adventure.
