Insane Internet About To Commit Suicide Over Hillary Clinton's Existence

Christ, the Pennsylvania primary isn't until April 22 and at its current rate, the Internet will have long since committed suicide, over and over and over again. Over the last week, many bloggers have gotten so bored with the lack of actual news that they have become werewolves. Specifically, the level of violent rage directed at Hillary Clinton has reached that of Osama bin Laden in late 2001. Do not be surprised to see some of the bloggers below resort to self-immolation the next time Hillary Clinton says something on a radio show. More »

A Children's Treasury of Depressing, Truer-By-The-Hour Commentary About Hillary Clinton

She is truly a monster, run by the Lizard King Bowser, running kamikaze nosedive straight into the soul of our personal Secular Jesuses. She is ruining everyone's life. We need to end this primary, because all of this Internet ranting and raving about Hillary Clinton is just starting to sound too real. More »

Andrew Sullivan Wins Cleveland Debate

Given the Main Stream Media’s overt bias against Hillary Clinton, it’s very difficult to find a good, objective debate verdict the morning after. Fortunately we have bloggers like Andrew Sullivan to tell it like it is. While Sullivan writes dozens of posts a day, since forever, preaching against Hillary Clinton’s very Clintonian smear campaigns, diabolical nature and disgrace to the female gender and America, he actually apologized for his previous Iraq War support. Now that we can trust everything he says, let’s check out his liveblog of the debate last night to see, objectively, who won. More »

LIBERAL ELITIST WRITER VOTES FOR CLINTON

“Cultural critic” James Wolcott, on his Vanity Fair blog, outlines why he voted for Hillary:

“Perhaps it’s my atheism at work but I found myself increasingly wary of and resistant to the salvational fervor of the Obama campaign, the idealistic zeal divorced from any particular policy or cause and chariot-driven by pure euphoria. I can picture President Hillary in the White House dealing with a recalcitrant Republican faction; I can’t picture President Obama in the same role because his summons to history and call to hope seems to transcend legislative maneuvers and horse-trading; his charisma is on a more ethereal plane, and I don’t look to politics for transcendence and self-certification.”

Why do you hate Love so much, Mr. Wolcott? [James Wolcott via Andrew Sullivan]

Intellectual Young'un Ezra Klein Thinks World of Tim Russert [UPDATE]

Famous-for-DC American Prospect blogger Ezra Klein usually keeps it clean on his lefty blog, but on his Twitter micro-blogging side project account, he’s just another sick fucking Wonketteer.

Sully Blows Minds With His Knowledge


Just like Andy Rooney had a good point that Barry Obama shouldn’t be president because he has a black-sounding name, the counterpoint made by labor-hating scab Andy Sullivan last night on Colbert was equally brilliant. Baldilocks spent a good chunk of his four minutes pushing for Barry, sharing with Comedy Central viewers the great insight the world will stop hating us if our president is brown and named “Obama.” Thank you, Andy. And thanks for saying it on teevee and not on your blog, where we wouldn’t have understood on account of we don’t know how to read..

Andrew Sullivan's War On TV Writers

New episodes of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will start airing on Monday without the help of their starving writers, but plenty of writerly guests are lining up to promote themselves on the teevee shows. First up for Colbert: Andrew Sullivan, who may try to explain just what was going on in this creepy Iowa fantasy he posted yesterday. More »

Can Someone Tell Andrew Sullivan to Shut Up?

After Benazir Bhutto’s assassination yesterday, Hillary and Barack got into one of their little spats over how the other one was politicizing it for a last-minute gain. Hillary’s statement on the assassination offered regrets and also mentioned that she knew Bhutto as first lady. Barack’s statement just offered regrets, because he didn’t know the lady. But the big politicizing came later in the afternoon, when Barack’s senior foreign policy adviser David Axelrod went meanypants on Hillary: She authorized Iraq, which diverted our attention from Pakistan, which grew into further turmoil, which is where Bhutto was assassinated. Now, if you’ve been following Andrew Sullivan’s blog the last few months, you’ve noticed that he’s not only supporting Barack — which obvs is fine, go for it — and slamming Hillary in every post for her gutless attacks, but he won’t say a friggin’ word when Barack pulls out the Nasty. Check out how he handled yesterday’s Clinton-Obama repartee, and then someone please tell him to go back to libertarian land, where he belongs. More »

Andrew Sullivan has decided to play “libertarian wingnut Sullivan” today instead of “Obama-loving faux liberal Sullivan” and has endorsed Ron “iz moneybomb” Paul for the Republican nomination. So that’s a nice way to engage the current political reality and choose someone with any sort of chance. [Daily Dish]

Andrew Sullivan Praises Obama For Being Young-ish

The December issue of The Atlantic hits newsstands across the galaxy November 20th, within which Andrew Sullivan has penned his pseudo-hyped first cover story for the magazine since leaving Time earlier this year. Congrats, Andy! And way to be modest and not horribly self-indulgent. For example, check out this nuanced approach to the upcoming election: “It is a war about war—and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama—and Obama alone—offers the possibility of a truce.” Yikes! More »

Fred Thompson Rumor Watch

Andrew Sullivan:

Outside the extremist, activist base, regular GOP voters turn out to be relatively tolerant when it comes to sexual minorities and private sex lives. They’re not well represented by their party leaders, as far as policy is concerned. This is good news for Fred Thompson. The man has had a colorful and wide-ranging sex life, as I’m sure we will soon find out.

Translated: COUGH COUGH GAY COUGH COUGH FRED THOMPSON IS GAY GAY GAY COUGH COUGH

But that’s not all.

Andrew Sullivan to Marry Guy With Name That's Hard to Hear Correctly While Drunk

Congratulations to Andrew Sullivan, who’s set a date to wed his long-time partner Aaron Tone. While the New York Observer doesn’t actually know Mr. Tone’s name (it was written as Eric and subsequently corrected), Diner-frequenting Washingtonians have come to know the amiable, large-necked pundit’s partner well over the two years they’ve been living together.

Andrew Sullivan Shocker: 'South Park' Actually a Cartoon!

Why does South Park get away with every possible racial and sexual and religious and whatever-other-things stereotype, week after week — while poor Don Imus is out of work and only has like $100 million dollars? Andrew Sullivan has cracked the code: It appears the South Park characters are not actually living creatures but simply cartoons of some sort. More »

Wonk'd: First Things, First Lady

This week’s Wonk’d hits close to home, as everyone spotted looks spaced out and bitter. Laura Bush’s face lets George know that if she’s gonna be up early she better have a drink in her hand, and Dennis Kucinich may not need that particular poison, but he’s got his own way to relax. Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer party at South East’s most deluxe Chinese joint, George Stephanopoulos shows he has almost mastered the art of exchanging money for goods and services, and Andrew Sullivan pays for WiFi from The Man just to avoid being spotted at the free place down the street, and ends up here anyway. These aggravated big-shots and last week’s douchiness explained — if you can begrudge us another click. More »

Andrew Sullivan Lured to 'The Atlantic' by David Bradley's Scones

You ever wonder what David Bradley thought about Andrew Sullivan? Or about David Bradley? Here’s a hint: he loves them both! An operative sent us one of David’s periodic rambling company-wide memos, this one announcing the (here’s the news, by the way) hiring of Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic, and the moving of his blog there from Time’s NEW AND IMPROVED website.
