With the Chair
My ethics are thiiiis big
In which Booman takes the unctuous Joe Klein in his teeth and shakes him like a pit bull shakes a three-year old child.
You say you love blogging but you’re bummed that ‘the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere.’ Look, let me try to be tolerant and display some wit. I don’t want to be a bully. You are calling me and most of the rest of the bloggers in the ‘left-wing sector of the blogosphere’…you’re calling us ‘extremists’ and comparing us to Rush Limbaugh. That’s not very nice. It’s also not accurate in the least. First of all, despite the fact that you’re a well paid journalist, I write a LOT more than you do. Ask any reader of this blog how frequently I screw up shit like how a congresswoman voted on a bill and then make that the main point of my posting? You make mistakes like that ALL THE TIME including in the print copy of TIME. You’re lazy. You’re complacent. You run with the pack. You echo mindless talking points from both the right and from the cocktail frankfurter consensus building table. You say exceedingly dumb things like: ‘Voting against it means you’re in favor of a precipitous departure from Iraq.’ That’s a statement so stupid and biased that is begs for intolerance and ridicule. And that’s true whether or not you go on to make a complete fool of yourself
With the chair, Marty! Hit him with the chair!
