Goes to Andrew Northrup at The Poor Man: John Podhoretz's Precious Gets Smacked And He Whines Like A Little Bitch
John Podhoretz is just aghast at the rude and uncouth things John Kerry is saying about our President. He puts down his parasol and hand fan, gathers up his petticoats, and runs sobbing from the shade of the magnolia tree to the drawing room to pen an editorial for the NY Post about the nasty, nasty man, who can just forget about ever being invited to the spring cotillion.
I have been amazed (well, no I haven't) that the same people who during the Clinton administration gleefully participated in the most gratuitous display of political beanballing in our nation's history now claim to be shocked, just shocked, that the other side might play some chin music of their own. As Andrew puts it, "Boo fucking hoo, you big baby." Oh, and by the way fellas, you'd better get ready to keep hitting the dirt from now until November. A wise man once said something about living by the sword. Go look it up.
Tom Tomorrow has the final say on this.
TrackBackSomeone please shake these people. You want hardball, you got hardball. So simple. So elegant. But at least play by the rules.
It's sad that our only interpretive options for people like Podman are deluded fool or shameless hypocrite. Which one is more charitable? Hard to say.
