I do like his writing far better than Ana Marie Cox's, whom he took over Wonkette from. She retained too much of the suck.com hipster nihilism.

I have been reading War Room for years and I really hope that this kind of post is kept to a minimum, grasping at straws is a lot more tolerable when it's about celebs instead of politics.

oh actually yeah, when you think about it, defending israel from scud missiles is a bit like the phoenix program. my bad.

what?
― max, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 12:09 (thirteen years ago) link
But the problem isn't specifically with the joke itself. It's a sort of generic joke about the executive's unconstrained power that any postwar president could've delivered. You know, it would've been Patriot missiles during the first Gulf War, or jokes about the CIA or Secret Service disappearing people during the Cold War.
i guess my memory could be off, but was there something terribly unconstitutional/comparable-to-secret-assassinations-programs about the use of patriot missiles?
― the subject of many paedo's thoughts (history mayne), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 12:42 (thirteen years ago) link
oh i dont think so--i mean their use was controversial--but i think i think its kind of beside the point he wants to make
― max, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 12:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i can remember the war, but not any controversy, and their use doesn't seem to have any relation to "the executive's unconstrained power" (cough healthcare cough) nor be comparable to bad things the CIA did off the books
my guess is pareene was going all out relentless for the zing -- which is exactly what barry obam's "daily show" speechwriters were doing
