hey did anyone watch that alexandra pelosi doc last night on hbo?

That said, a pretty neat wrap-up of the Democratic race for the prize; especially the momentum shift from the Deaniac brigade to John "the tortoise" Kerry's ascension to the nomination. You also got to see Republicans funkin' it up at the White House Xmas party, and Joe Lieberman the human sleeping pill in action.

Pelosi the Younger has a new one running, and....

"Obama may have lied about rendition, but hey, look at that stupid redneck! At least I don't sound like him!"

oh man dennis perrin is so right! how many times have i found myself saying exactly that?! im so glad you link to his blog on every thread

yeah, dennis perrin is amazing. Really. Awesome. What a blogger.

so you see the parallels to my speaking truth to you brainwashed dingbats? awesome.

we thought youd been hired as Gillibrand's chief of staff

lol

perrin's smug certainty that he's better than the dumb "liberal rubes" who dare to think that obama might turn out to be a good president is of a piece with the "redneck bashing" he decries.

anyone who repeatedly recommends a blog that proudly links to the creepy buchananite antiwar.com (just a few steps above lew rockwell, folks) has no business pretending he cares about progressive politics, or anything at all besides maybe pretending he's not the closet reactionary and misanthrope he is.

smug smug smug, no one smugger than you, JD. Like I know who Lew Rockwell is, give a shit, or click on all Perrin's links cuz he's some god?

Please tell me what the specifics of my closet reactionary ideology is so I can know myself.

hey MV (who?), I never knew where "dingbat" was from, thx.

Peerin's using "liberal rubes" as a sobriquet for wanky little shits like the would-be pundits here (see libs who know what The Corner is). You're sportsfans with no viscera.

"proudly link"

uhm, this isn't just a gay brotherhood thing, but i kind of think Perrin is right.

"...there are...tribes which work hand in hand with the government, offering slices of meat in the form of doubletalk; or hope-- hope as a chain of submission."

re: a righteously angry dude who's been going after "liberal rubes" lately (over how they're dumbing down their own side, which some of them definitely are).. I prefer Bob Somerby @ Daily Howler, in fact I pretty much agree with everything he writes on his incomparable website.

(the gay brotherhood was me defending morbius, not Perrin. quote is David Wojnarowicz )

let me repeat: HOPE AS A CHAIN OF SUBMISSION

I'm interested to see this documentary by A. Pelosi actually.. those folks have been fed a line of BS about the "liberal media" .. the media's not liberal, it's just fickle and elite and has ADD and no perspective on issues affecting most people's lives, esp theirs. I think I'm going to be sick if a bunch of ppl I know here in DC are all hyped about it, because they think it's cool to laugh at the stupid NASCAR rednecks (note, I am not using that term because I think they are that, I'm trying to be ironic right)

liberal pubes

hey, it's fine if you want to pretend some washed-up comedy writer is the reincarnation of mencken, no skin off my nose. but if you're going to keep on brandishing the "wisdom" of a guy who's so politically clueless he doesn't know his far left from his fascist right, heaping abuse on people who actually care about what happens to the country because they're insufficiently cynical about their "terrorist" president (no explanation necessary: they're all terrorists, right?), and applauding yourself on your ignorance of politics in general, don't be surprised if someone calls bullshit on you sooner or later.

Everybody make sure not to link to Glenn Greenwald ever again.

let me know when "progressive politics" takes the megabucks outta US election campaigns, JD, cuz that's the Mother Issue and IT AIN"T HAPPENING far as I can see.

more likely to enact bold changes in politics

1) working and engaging with a new, more-progressive administration

2) being a dick on a messageboard

Everybody make sure not to link to Glenn Greenwald ever again.

nice try, but greenwald doesn't link to antiwar.com.

no -- he interviews Perrin! ooooh, GOTCHA!

Greenwald has written for Pat Buchanan's magazine and was defending himself for doing so like two days ago. Also:

Juan Cole is another good example, he has lewrockwell.com on his blogroll.
