TWITTER IS A FIFTH COLUMN

Now Is NOT THE TIME To Get Between Andrew Sullivan And His Twitter

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Such turbulence today on America’s favorite autistic British Tory blog, Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish! He discovered that he loves Twitter after all, then the Ayatollah launched a digital fatwa on his servers, then he just cold made everything green, and now he has launched war on Twitter for having to perform maintenance tonight. COWARDS! Well, maybe everyone should use the occasion to grab dinner and resume with the riot-twatting afterward, kind of like a Middle East stolen election version of “adult swim.” [Andrew Sullivan]


WEAR GREEN WHILE WATCHING THIS ON TEEVEE

  • OBAMA TO TALK IRAN, MAYBE, LATER: Barack Obama is scheduled to hold a press conference with Italy’s leathery clown king, Silvio Berlusconi, at 5 p.m. today, to discuss Stuff. In other words, a bunch of reporters will harass him about Iran. His options are to either declare war on Iran or allow John McCain and Andrew Sullivan to do it themselves, on Twitter. [Swampland]

Is Daily Dish A Victim Of Cyberwarfare?

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Blog on, blogger.Those of you who follow “actual news” in the “real world” probably noticed that Iranian election deal on Friday, and the accompanying freakout when Ahmadinejad was very suspiciously re-elected by a wide margin despite pre-election polls showing the other guy, Mousavi, winning. Anyway Andrew Sullivan has been so on top of this story you could be forgiven for wondering if Trig Palin’s birth records were buried somewhere in there with the Iranian election returns, but now The Daily Dish is loading hella slowly, possibly because of a digital attack. And THAT is what you get for messing with Sarah Palin. [The Daily Dish]


THE GAY AGENDA

Sullivan-Cooper-Maddow Alliance Of Homosexuals Responsible For Teabagging Joke Conspiracy

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Andrew Sullivan seen in his teabagging harnessThe important conservative political philosophy bloggers at Power Line WON THE MORNING Saturday by writing a pornographic blog post about the sexual meaning of “teabagging,” which their fathers perhaps had taught them the night before. One writes, “What we’re seeing here is the ascendancy of the Low-Life Left. Vulgar, ignorant, profane and abusive, it started on the internet at sites like Daily Kos, Democratic Underground and Wonkette. Discourse at sites like these abandoned all traditional norms of political conversation.” Bah! And now that smut has made its way onto liberal cable news television outlets like MSNBC and CNN! Which leads another writer to conjecture that this sexual act is something invented by 2.5 homosexuals — Rachel Maddow, Andrew Sullivan, and Anderson Cooper — because you know how mean they are.

FIRST AGAINST THE WALL

Bill Kristol Gloats About How Much Obama Loves Him

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Oh jesus christ, Bill fuckin’ Kristol, he’s now bragging about his sexy dinner with Obama and Peggy Noonan: “Yesterday, he met with the liberal columnists. And they had a pleasant hour in the conference room in his office. They got some coffee in some styrofoam cups. We had a pleasant dinner at George’s house, and they had some coffee from the machine in the office. But I wouldn’t read too much into that.” Andrew Sullivan, meanwhile, is extraordinarily upset about being called a “liberal columnist” and uses this as another opportunity to plug his book. And the world continues to rotate on an axis. [Think Progress]
