Why Roy Rules
Like [the NRO's Rod] Dreher, I look forward to [Rupert] Murdoch’s improvements of Beliefnet content: the “Who Would Jesus Do?” photo-features, and examinations of the theologies of Jack Bauer and Peter Griffin, etc. With any luck Dreher will be commissioned to write them.
And since I haven’t plugged Jon Swift much lately, here you go:
When I left a comment on yet another of Ms. Althouse’s continuing series of anti-Hillary pieces saying that it appeared to me if Hillary got elected she might suffer the same unfortunate fate as David Broder, a comment that was full of genuine concern for her health, she took it all wrong and lashed out at me. At first it was quite upsetting, though then I realized that may just be how she expresses affection. “Don’t you think you should have to be more of a wit to live up to your name?” she asked me. I replied: “I don’t quite understand how living up to my name, which I have said on many occasions is a tribute to the brave Swift Boat Veterans, requires me to be witty anymore than your living up to your name requires you to be a creaky old house.”
Bloody awesome.

Why did Roy name his place “A Lic U Blog”?

Indeed, we can just imagine Althouse downing wine coolers and writing things like:
Yawn!
Bzzzzt. False.
Don’t flatter yourself.
Swift nailed her. She simply doesn’t read anything other than what she selectively chooses. And in the Bush 43 era, that makes her a high intellectual who deserves a blog with thousands of hits per day.

I think she did read it; she just didn’t want to admit it. She made reference to something Swift didn’t say in his comment but did in his post. She read it, but to her, there’s nothing worse than being ignored, so that’s her insult of choice when pressed. She’s a less interesting version of Paris Hilton.

“Bloody Awesome”…is that the name of the newest strain of ebola? Just wondering. I’m just geeky enough to be waiting on the genome.

Don’t you want to see my onion ring?

She tries to show boredom with a “Yawn!”, but what’s with the exclamation point? It seems contradictory. How can you shout a yawn? She’s stupid.

I just cannot accept that there is a less interesting version of Paris Hilton. I’m so, so sorry.

For some reason, I always reassemble Althouse’s name as “Anal T House.”

Wow: That beard! those glasses! that spiky hair!
If you were to assemble the Platonic ideal of a “crunchy con” you could not improve on Dreher.

The real Ann Althouse would show up yelling insults at Gavin.
Gary Ruppert said,

The fact is that Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s presidential campaign is pretty much doomed because they’re relying on voter fraud to try and win the Iowa Caucuses. If we had voter ID, Democrats would never win a major election again in this country because Voter ID stops fraud in it’s tracks.

nice one Gary!
anyone able to check the Drudge Report to see what his top stories are?

If we don’t have voter ID, then why am I carrying this card around with me to vote?

You can tell Rod’s a conservative b/c his beard is neatly trimmed, particularly the neck.

I am a fool. I keep getting Ann Althouse confused with Debbie Schlussel. There is a difference. Ann is into sammiches, and it’s Debbie who does wine coolers.
But both put exclamation points after the word “yawn”

The fact is, liberal bias will always be your undoing.
Fozzetti said,

I’m hoping Barak & Hillery will destroy one another, leaving Edwards triumphant. then he’ll choose a really interesting VP.
Gary Ruppert said,
December 5, 2007 at 20:58
Voter ID with proof that you are who you say you are is the only way to go.
Also, Obama is an idiot who wants 12 year olds to work 50 hours a week in community service
t4toby said,
December 5, 2007 at 20:58
That was her! The real Althouse!
And she made a reference to a sexual organ!!
OMG!!!!!!!
Gary Ruppert said,
December 5, 2007 at 20:58
John Edwards will be easily defeated due to the fact of his sexual orientation.
t4toby said,
December 5, 2007 at 20:59
Oh, and I’m with Fozzie.
And Gary, do you have any ability to parse information, or are you merely a factually challenged stenographer?
Lawnguylander said,
December 5, 2007 at 21:03
It’s true, we should not flatter ourself. Ann Althouse is actually very smart to say this I’m quite sure?
t4toby said,

Is that Russian Althouse speak?
Well done.

Don’t feel bad. The differences are subtle, and can take significant expertise to spot.

To flatter oneself is vainglory.
To flatter fools is idiocy.
Choose. Choose wisely. Choose both.

I envision Gary shouting this as he stands on a rocky, windswept promontory, silhouetted by a full moon, his hands twisted into claws of anger as his cape snaps and billows about his porcine hips.

I miss real Gary. I don’t know where he went, or why he left, but all the Fake Garys are just weak.
“John Edwards is gay”
“Voter ID laws are about preventing voter fraud!”
As writers more talented than me have said… yawn!
Oh, and the same goes for Saul. He had a pretty good act going for a while, but clearly couldn’t keep up the charade.
Where have all the good trolls gone?

I suppose one could shout a “yawn!” if one were really, really tired.
Or I suppose a “shouted yawn” could be the noise my dog makes when he’s stretching: if a small whine manages to sneak out, it sometimes bursts the floodgates and erupts into an ear-splitting “brrreeeeEEEOOOOOW!” (imagine a circumflex pitch accent, there, if you can).
(And yes, I AM having metaphor hash for dinner–how did you know?)

Gary,
Barack HUSSEIN* Obama is to Saddam HUSSEIN as

Hey Gary… Suck. On. That.
Oh, and while we’re at it:
George WALKER Bush is to John WALKER Lindh as
Gary RUPPERT is to Wilhelm RUPPERT.

I hate to be lookist, but if that image of Rod Dreher is any guide, his Crunchy Con faction would be more accurately called ‘Unabomber Republicans’.
